Keshav is currently a senior writer at NewsBTC and has been associated with the website since June 14, 2021.
Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelance artist. He has experience working in various niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been associated with.
In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a Bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of India’s premier institutes, Delhi University (DU). He started his degree with the goal of eventually pursuing a career in physics, but the emergence of COVID led to a change in plans. The virus meant that college classes had to be held online, and with it came free time to explore other passions.
Initially just trying to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly got clients by offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed, and being able to make a living doing it was like a dream come true.
Keshav graduated in physics in 2022 and has since focused on his writing career, but that doesn’t mean his passion for physics has stopped. Eventually, he plans to re-enter university to get a master’s degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satisfy his own interest, not to use it as a means of finding a job.
Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating since he started going down the rabbit hole in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular is something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC articles tend to include it in some form.
Being a scientist, Keshav likes concepts to be clear and consistent, so she generally explains the indicators she’s talking about in a bit more detail so that readers might come away with understanding and learning something new.
In terms of hobbies, Keshav is great at football, anime and video games. He enjoys football not only as a spectator, but also as a player. In terms of games, Keshav generally tends to enjoy single-player adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game in which he is active. Although, perhaps due to his ultra-focus on the game, he is now a semi-professional in the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking prize money.
Due to his enthusiasm for anime and games, he taught himself Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. That skill didn’t just remain a hobby, as he put it to productive use during his research for small gigs at the start of COVID, doing several Japanese-to-English translation jobs.
Keshav is also very into fitness and agility and acceleration exercises form a large part of his program due to their importance in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional gym strength program, which he works to maintain his body’s overall fitness level.
