I’m Niraj Shah, a PHP Developer working in London, UK. Thanks for visiting my site – please take a look around and let me know what you think. I love web development and have been doing it for many years now. I also enjoy blogging in my spare time (I have several blogs), watching movies and playing video games.
My current choice of AI tool is Google Gemini (Google AI Pro). My mobile device of choice is currently the Google Pixel 11 Pro XL in Fog.
