A Little About Myself
Mehul Boricha
Founder of Tech Arrival & Astute Links
Hello. I’m Mehul Boricha, the driving force behind Tech Arrival. My journey into the tech world began at age 11 with programming, which ignited my passion for technology.
My professional path started in high school, where I began curating content for my blog, techrrival.com. This endeavor persisted through my undergraduate and graduate studies. Post-graduation, I embraced blogging full-time, a venture that’s proving successful.
On a personal note, I’m an ardent music lover. My free time is dedicated to cybersecurity research, server optimization, and contributing to open-source projects. I find solace in the mountains, embodying the spirit of both a traveler and a tourist.
A little quirk of mine: I have a penchant for Terminals over graphical user interfaces.
