About me
Who am I
Hello! My Name is Hemant Nigam. I am 29 years old, I live in Delhi, India, and I enjoy creating things that live on the internet.
I have serious passion for UI effects, animations and creating intuitive, dynamic user experiences.
I enjoy the constant change in the technologies used in the area and love diving into new frameworks and technologies.
Spending time customizing, improving and tinkering with my work environment and tools is something I enjoy a lot, as it is something I use for many hours daily. It allows me to have it exactly as I desire.
