Dear readers,
I extend my gratitude to Quy Ma for providing this wonderful opportunity for writers to share their stories. Reflecting on my own journey is quite challenging, yet discussing the experiences of others feels more fulfilling and easier.
Just like Quy, I have encouraged numerous writers to share their biographies with my publications. I firmly believe that having a biography is essential for every writer for various reasons, and I aim to convey my thoughts on this matter.
I strive to write only what resonates with me and my audience. Every piece I create must serve a purpose aligned with my core values and beliefs.
My primary strategy involves empathizing with my readers. I constantly ask myself if the content I produce is what I would want to read. My writing ethos is summarized in a checklist that guides contributing writers in my publications.
I adopt a pragmatic approach to progress in my endeavors. Rather than seeking perfection, I focus on growth, emphasizing the importance of launching the initial version of a project over refining subsequent iterations.
I share my writings across various platforms. In addition to my personal blog, I contribute articles to Medium, Vocal Media, and News Break.
I find joy in sharing my insights and experiences with others, driven by an abundance mindset that motivates me to create more without expecting anything in return.
To simplify writing about myself, I often utilize a self-interview format. I have conducted interviews with several writers and have also been featured in interviews by Authors & Peeps.
My writing journey has yielded numerous synergistic opportunities. I strongly believe in the value of serendipitous encounters, which are fostered through platforms like Medium, Vocal, and News Break.
By amplifying the voices of various writers, I cultivate serendipity that aids in achieving my goals. Acts of kindness, no matter how small, contribute to creating meaningful connections. My core value is to give without anticipation of reciprocation.
I aspire to explore a diverse range of topics in my writings, particularly in technology, where I possess considerable expertise.
I cover a wide array of technological fields, including IoT, Cloud Computing, Big Data Analytics, Data Practices, Cognitive Computing, AI, Machine Learning, Cybersecurity, Ethical Hacking, Blockchain, Business Insights, Digital Intelligence, and Emerging Technologies. My work in technology has garnered significant visibility.
Leadership is another area of focus for me. My writings in this domain primarily address technical leadership, innovation, design thinking, motivation, and inspiration for entrepreneurs and leaders.
I am passionate about sensible experimentation. Engaging with innovative ideas through biohacking tools fuels my personal growth and transformation.
Currently, I am particularly interested in blockchain, crypto, FinTech, ICOs, NFTs, and digital finance. I enjoy enlightening my readers about financial intelligence, investment opportunities, and contemporary trends in cryptocurrencies and NFTs.
Recently, I have taken pleasure in crafting short-form stories on Medium, which serve as effective supplements to longer articles.
Writing about the writing process not only brings me joy but also benefits others. Like many writers, I have various aspirations for creating stories, blogs, and books. Here are some reasons why I engage in these pursuits.
The foremost reason is the therapeutic benefits of writing. It allows me to articulate my thoughts, emotions, knowledge, and experiences.
Connecting with new readers and expanding my audience is crucial for me. I relish the opportunity to forge collaborations for my projects and to amplify significant messages that promote societal awareness on vital issues. Having dedicated seven years to my Ph.D. dissertation, I understand the value of transferring tacit knowledge.
By contributing original insights through ongoing research and thought leadership, I have gained recognition that allows me to make a meaningful impact in disseminating truth.
In the last two years on Medium, I have authored over 2000 articles and established four successful publications, contributing to a community of over 21,500 writers and around 150,000 readers. Here are my writing accomplishments.

I am delighted to share my bio as a writer and look forward to connecting with many others in this community. I frequently share my health, fitness, and lifestyle narratives through my personal publication, Euphoria.
Beyond increasing my readers' hormonal intelligence and discussing neurotransmitters, one of my primary objectives as a writer is to raise awareness about prevalent diseases and their risk factors that can lead to suffering and mortality for many.
I maintain another profile dedicated to readers interested in technology, business, and leadership. I explain my objectives in a recent article.
