About Me

I am a professional Software Engineer with over 9 years of experience. I am responsible for designing, writing clean and reusable code, performing tests and maintaining the current app on the market. For me learning is always a great thing, being part of the communities like GDG Vancouver, GDG Baroda, GDG Hyderabad and AIESEC there is a lot of learning, technically and non-technically.

I'm truly passionate about my work and always ready to learn the upcoming features in this field. While I enjoy all aspects of my job, I think my favourite stage of a project is working with other developers and exchanging the ideas. As we go through that collaborative process, the ideas start to flow and that’s always the fun part.
