Skills I Learned
A page dedicated to the skills I learned
This contains the things I learned from the courses I followed in different areas and the trivial skills I developed over time.
All these courses have helped me better shape the way I am thinking.
Some had greater impact than others, but they all are part of my journey and helped me hit different milestones in my life.
They helped me stay curious, lively and use the information I find most essential for my life journey.
I am driven by curiosity more than anything else.
I try to stay updated with latest and best practices as I value mastery of one’s craft.
As much as I have tried to develop only one thing, I gain much more value by combining all my skills.
This creates so many ideas and innovation just by bringing different fields together!
