Arjun Ruparelia
Arjun is a non-engineer computer geek. He first put his hands on an Intex mouse with a ball on the underside and a bulky keyboard with protruding keys in 2002. Since then, he has learned a ton sitting in front of the computer screen without any outside help. He is now an Excel ninja, codes HTML and CSS, and has received an honorary mention as the family’s go-to tech help during get-togethers.
He is a born number-cruncher and likes to spend hours juggling numbers across an Excel sheet. Unsurprisingly, he’s an accountant by education. After completing his B.Com. in Banking and Finance, Arjun finished his CMA from the IMA, US.
He previously worked as an equity research analyst. After saying goodbye to the equity market, Arjun turned to his passion to earn a living—tech. Arjun has been a freelance writer for over six years and works as a staff writer for Help Desk Geek and MakeUseOf.
When he’s not in front of his computer screen, he enjoys playing with his dog and spending time with his mother. Occasionally, he loves watching mystery thrillers on Netflix.
