Engineering @ Headout | Ex-JioHotstar, Ex-Google

About

Hi there!, I am a software engineer and a tech-savvy who has experience of working in many different fields like Fullstack web development, Game Development, Deep Learning Researcher, Teacher, etc. I am a self-taught developer. I love to solve problems that affect people. At the end of the day, I want my work to be my mark, to a certain extent. Fear, I have is that if I look back 5-6 years from now and see a career that’s —mediocre. I want my work to be something that would make me really, really proud of myself, and feel like an impact. I love to experiment and like to learn new things. I am agile and hardworking! Quote I live by: If you really want something you'll find a way; if not, you'll find an excuse
