Hi! I'm Arshid. I have been living in the city of brotherly love since 2009. I'm a tech nerd, and a history buff. I know an odd combo.

If you're visiting the city where it all happened in July 1776, give me a shout out, and I could show you around a bit, if I am available. I am a Patent Attorney by profession. Yes, that means I get to work with the latest inventions!
