My skills
My journey
Completed intermediate
Completed my intermediate education at Adarsh Inter College, Mahroo Hathras, graduating as the top student of the year.
Completed graduation
Earned my degree in physics, chemistry, and mathematics from D.S. Degree College, Aligarh.
Completed diploma
Pursued my passion for computers and electronics with a diploma in computer hardware technology, chip-level repair, and networking at A-Set Training and Research Institute, Delhi. Completed the core program in 2014, then stayed on an extra year for advanced coursework.
Worked as an IT/network support engineer
Spent close to two years as an IT/network support engineer at a private company in Noida. Left in 2017 to pursue independent work — one of the best decisions I’ve made.
Tried app development
Explored Android app development using no-code, drag-and-drop builders like Thunkable and AppyBuilder, publishing four apps under the brand Algobyte. One remains live today with over 50,000 installs.
Tried stock photography
Shifted to stock photography, shooting entirely on a smartphone and selling images on platforms like Shutterstock. This venture didn’t take off either.
Founded 10HotDeals.com
Took blogging seriously for the first time, building a website focused on computers and technology. It took about 1.5 years to gain traction, but became a genuine turning point — giving me the foundation to work independently and teaching me how to sustain a long-term project.
Founded PickLaptop.com
Launched a site focused on laptop reviews and buying guides, which grew into a solid success. Started hiring writers through Upwork to keep content flowing — a rewarding first experience managing a small remote team.
Founded TwoDogZoo.com
Built a site covering dog nutrition, care guides, and product recommendations. It achieved the highest conversion rate of any project so far and continues to generate income today.
Founded PickTablet.com
A companion project to PickLaptop, focused solely on tablets. A modest but steady contributor to overall revenue.
Founded PoloTShirts.org
An experimental site with only a handful of posts, yet still active and profitable relative to what was invested.
Founded NootanCrafts.com
Started a self-taught DIY project covering repairs, woodworking, and metal crafting — sharing tutorials on tools and techniques I learned the hard way. Also launched a companion YouTube channel for video walkthroughs.
