Hi, I am Anchit Bajaj, a student from Chandigarh, India. I love programming (have been doing it since I was 13) and am a developer, but I do some sysadmin and selfhosting (wiki, cloud storage, newsfeed, messaging, etc) stuff too. I’m a heavy open source user and advocate.

I like talking and sleeping (at odd hours), not to mention pizza, ice-cream and chocolate.
