About

Engineer by education, problem-solver by nature, and builder at heart. My early career stint at leading MNCs gained me hands-on experience in building scalable tech solutions. Later, a purposeful break from the corporate world to prepare for the Civil Services Examination taught me the values of discipline and perseverance and strengthened my problem-solving mindset. Now, back to building user-centric and impactful technology.
