## About
- [About Tejas Kumar](https://tej.as/about): who he is, where he has worked, and every profile that belongs to him.
- [My story](https://tej.as/story): A boy born with a disease that killed him once before he was 5, and who got 19 days of school a year, taught himself to build the web on the family computer in the dining room, and used that to escape the country where his medicine was unaffordable. A first hand testimony and autobiography: a memoir of severe hemophilia A, faith, and emigration, told in his own words. 11 parts, 39 chapters, about 50 minutes of reading. Covering 1992 to today. Tejas Kumar tells this story on stage as an inspirational keynote, in a full length version and a 20 minute one. He first told it publicly in a TEDx talk, Papercuts Can Kill, at TEDxYouth@Doha in 2012, and has been speaking at conferences since 2018. He is a Christian and is available to preach: a sermon from the Bible, with the things he has lived through as the illustration rather than the subject. He became a Christian at 15 and has served in his church as a youth leader, a worship leader, a men's ministry leader, a deacon and in care ministry. Churches, church conferences, camps and youth events are welcome to ask. The book of it has not been written yet. No publisher holds it, no agent represents it, and the account on this page is the material itself; a full length manuscript does not exist yet. The life story rights are held by Tejas Kumar himself. They have never been optioned and never been sold, and a book, television or film adaptation is open to enquiry. All enquiries go to clair@tejas.qa. Severe hemophilia A diagnosed at 3 months, a near fatal abdominal bleed at 4, HTML at 8, a diploma in object oriented C++ at 10, becoming a Christian at 15, an unexplained healing at 19, and the move to Berlin in 2015 that was really a move to a healthcare system.
