Comment(s)
For my personal introduction to say the least, I am a technocrat trying to find out easier and smart ways to get away from the ?technology world? for my pursuits in wildlife. It?s a passion and sheer poetry for my soul. I am most fascinated by the wonders of this natural world and every moment of my life is a walk in exploration. I never wait for any opportunity to happen but have always endeavored to create them when they were least possible. I wish that this CV helps to further unlock doors for me. Thank you.
