## Do you usually write on similar topics? If not, what do you usually write about?

Yeah I do write about Backend Development concepts and I do write on JavaScript, NodeJS, and in the future, I will even be writing on Docker & Kubernetes as well.

## Great! What is your usual writing routine like (if you have one?)

Well! I have planned for to write at least 2 stories a week but that’s not working accordingly. Still I would like to start doing that.

## 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?

The biggest challenge for me while writing is the question of whether people get my writing or not. It’s like, I don’t want my articles to be like a lengthy collaboration of words. If readers don’t get anything, what’s the point of writing, right?

## What is the next thing you hope to achieve in your career?

My next goal is to start contributing to Open Source Projects, For which I’m really excited & will be doing very soon.

## Wow, that’s admirable. Now, something more casual: What is your guilty pleasure of choice?

Well I guess, my guilty pleasure is getting that extra minute of sleep which results in an extra hour.

## Do you have a non-tech-related hobby? If yes, what is it?

My non-tech hobby is reading books. I just love reading books and now for me it’s like a habit.

## What can the Hacker Noon community expect to read from you next?

I am gearing up to write about Docker, Kubernetes, and of course Javascript, NodeJS. It will be really interesting.

## Thanks for taking the time to join our “Meet the writer” series. It was a pleasure. Do you have any closing words?

I am really thankful to the Hackernoon team, as they have built this mega platform for developers like me where I can write and publish. It’s beautiful.
