I'm Rajib: a solo traveler, a nerd, a t-shirt collector, and a collector of other nerdy things. I enjoy photography and take loads of pictures when traveling.
I live in West London and work for a software company. Although I have tech background, I am not really active online: never used social media. Ever. (I actually tried once and it didn't make any sense to me, so never used it the way people do). I just use LinkedIn when there is a purpose (i.e looking for a job).
I might sound like living in my little cocoon (which I do and enjoy). I just don't like the plethora of communication channels technology has brought and prefer how people used to communicate before the Internet: face to face, or at least over the phone, when communication was more meaningful and valued.
In my free time, I occasionally coach Python and IT at a charity called Codebar (This blog has been written using Python and Flask, happy to teach you if you're interested next time I coach at Codebar)
I also occasionally organise events around well-being and mental health on Meetup. See the events section to find out more.
If you want to get in touch, feel free to reach out. Will be nice hearing from you :)
Whenever people see me using my devices, I always get the same question: "is that a Chinese device?" Well, most devices are made in China. So in that sense, yes, my devices are Chinese... just like yours. But mine are maybe uncommon. Like the Red Magic 9 Pro from ZTE that I use as my everyday phone (very well known brand by the way). It's a phone with a fan and exhaust vent, with RGB lights on the back. Wait until you see my laptop.
Coming soon...
Coming soon.

I occasionally organise events around well-being and mental health on Meetup, from the London Cosmopolitan Muslim group.
My events are structured with some rules to follow, which I believe helps making communication easier and much more meaningful. Free from awkwardness and small talk, it's actually quite relaxed despire the structure, gathering up to 10 people so that everyone can talk to each other on important and meaningful topics.
