About Me
Vishal worked as a marine engineer on various ships a few years back before he decided to settle down on land. As time passed by, his interests changed and presently he is designing websites using jQuery, PHP & MySQL, and other related technologies. He sometimes works as a computer security consultant for a few companies in addition to freelance writing.
He looks up to Steve Jobs for inspiration.
When he has lots of time away from work, he indulges in reading books (has so many books that he had to allot a room just for them), collects stamps and coins, surfs the web and travels a lot.
