_aboutMe()

I am Sejith, driven by a fascination with the universe and a desire to understand its mysteries. Astronomy and astrophysics captivate me, from studying distant galaxies to uncovering the mechanics of celestial phenomena.

I created Cosmic Notes to make astronomy accessible and engaging for everyone. My goal is to simplify complex concepts without losing their wonder, inspiring curiosity and a love for exploring the cosmos.

I am also a founding member of Scaling Heights, a career-guidance initiative that helps students navigate their academic and professional paths with clarity and confidence. Outside of academics and projects, I train professionally in table tennis, strum the guitar, and enjoy exploring the nuances of language.
