This story is a part of Hacker Noon's . The series is intended for tech professionals contributing the most insightful Hacker Noon stories to share more about their writing habits, ideas, and professional background (and maybe a hobby or two). Meet the Writer series of interviews If you too would like to start contributing to Hacker Noon, . you can do so here So let’s start! Tell us a bit about yourself. For example, name, profession, and personal interests. I am Gimbiya Galadima, a fifth year medical student and content writer from Nigeria. Currently, I am a HackerNoon blogging fellow and I write about health, cryptocurrency and finance with the pseudonym “Juxtathinka.” I like books, music and good food. In my spare time, you are likely to catch me watching a movie or getting some zzzzs. Interesting! What was your latest Hackernoon Top story about? My latest top story was a comparison between Cardano and Ethereum.  It is based on the arguments between crypto traders and my personal opinion. Check out Juxtathinka’s story Cardano vs. Ethereum: May the Best Blockchain win Do you usually write on similar topics? If not, what do you usually write about? Yes, I took an interest in cryptocurrency and I write similar topics from time to time. Great! What is your usual writing routine like (if you have one?) I take a break after the days activities, then start writing usually in the evenings. I brainstorm for topics that readers will be interested in, then I create an outline before every word comes together. Ironically, when I am writing a story or poem(I write short stories and poems from time to time), I like to let the words flow out: then I just go with the flow. After some drafts, I do my editing before the piece comes out. Being a writer in tech can be a challenge. It’s not often our main role, but an addition to another one. What is the biggest challenge you have when it comes to writing? I think my biggest challenge is time. As a medical student, I have a full schedule and squeezing in time to write can be difficult. What is the next thing you hope to achieve in your career? I hope to become a better writer with time and establish a strong connection with my readers. Wow, that’s admirable. Now, something more casual: What is your guilty pleasure of choice? Chocolate, Nigerian jollof rice, wine and cakes: I have multiple guilty pleasures Do you have a non-tech-related hobby? If yes, what is it? Movie watching. I love watching movies, especially the classics. What can the Hacker Noon community expect to read from you next? Hmmm…More health, finance and crypto content. I want you all to enjoy these new stories. Thanks for taking time to join our “Meet the writer” series. It was a pleasure. Do you have any closing words? Thank you so much for having me. I just want to thank my readers for taking out time to read my stories. Thank you so much.
