Visa Veerasamy is a prolific writer and creator. With a large list of followers on twitter, he is known for crafting a web of curious exploratory threads as well for being the author of the books Friendly Ambitious Nerd & Introspect. On a mission to spark curiosity, creativity, and prolificacy in the digital age, he is knitting a global network and encouraging other people to chase their curiosity & make friends.

Having grown up in libraries, he thinks of the internet as a grand one, a place with infinite possibilities where you can find people all over the world with the same interests and values. To find them he advises to create, share and dare to be bad at what you do when you’re starting, which will lead to form a cluster of great people thriving together.

It sounds simple because it is - but he has a whole vision around how individuals simply following their interests & making friends will lead to great positive outcomes for the society as a whole, not just individuals doing so.
