About

I am an Associate Software Engineer at United Health Group and before this, I have completed my bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering.

Ever since I was a kid, I loved to influence people around me and make them happy. During the past five years, I have worked on analysing problems around me and I tried solving them by using technology and my creativity. I have a thirst for knowledge and I learn everything around me including people. My passion lies in combining the fields of technology with leadership to build great products. Management, music, racing, anime and sweet corn are a few things that excite me!

Other than being a Software Developer, I am a blogger, a content creator with main focus on new places and food, an author who loves to dream and I am an artist who paints the world colorful on my canvas. I am an explorer and I love meeting different minds.
