I am a passionate technophile and full-stack software engineer. I have a background in Electrical & Telecommunication Engineering. Over the last 2 years, I have been working professionally as a Software Engineer in remote teams building world-class products. I do not shy away from a challenge and I am always willing to seek help from my team. Beyond web development, I am always looking for ways I can use emerging technologies such as AI to make the product better. Outside work, I love music and when not listening to music I am either reading a book or enjoying a friendly game of chess.
