Hiya!

Howdy!

I'm Shankar. I'm a 16 year old high school student from Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu, India. I got introduced to computers when I was 12 years old, and ever since, I'm hooked. I've been doing a lot of things online since then.

I've been blogging for the past one and a half years. I started my first blog around December 2006, and moved it to this domain in April 2007. I established a new blog named Killer Tech Tips on January 1, 2008 to exclusively host my tech writings. Currently, Killer Tech Tips is a PR 6 blog driving in 70,000 visitors every month with over 2,000 daily RSS readers.

Besides writing for my own blogs, I also produce content for MakeUseOf.com (hailed by PC Mag as one of top 100 undiscovered websites). I've also worked with two other blogs, DailyBits.com and Techie-Buzz.com. I also appear in some podcasts occasionally.

My main aim is to provide my readers with as much value as possible in every blog post of mine. My work has reached the front page of Digg around 10 times, bookmarked by thousands of people on Del.icio.us, driven hundreds of thousands of StumbleUpon visitors and even got mentioned in Lifehacker - the world's most popular blog.

If you're wondering how much money I make, I do make a good sum every month. I've saved up most of the money I've earned so far and of course, I've spent a little to buy some gadgets and gizmos.

If you're interested, you can read the interviews I've given to Mayank of ReviewSaurus and Ashish of Technospot - go here or here. I'll be pursuing Computer Science Engineering soon, and my ultimate aim is to establish a web startup that will drive me name and fame.

If you want to connect with me, you can join my network on LinkedIn, add me on Facebook, follow me on twitter, or just drop me an email. I love to connect with people.
