Ever since I was kid computers have fascinated me. I was your typical geek next door - games, applications and the endless world of the internet were my daily staple. I used to wonder how does someone make these software services. I got the answer when I studied Computer Science in high school. I felt like a wizard that could make this machine do anything. Imagination was the limit.
Though the most splendid imagination I could have in high school was making a C++ executable for my crush that displayed poems inspired by Star Wars crawling intro with an acceptable GUI.

Eventually, I got admission into DA-IICT, one of the finest institutes for CS for my undergraduate degree. Here, I was among equally passionate wizards, upping my craft with each passing day. It was at this point I realized I felt more at ease communicating with computers than with humans. In my quest of figuring out people, I came across theatres. I was intrigued about how someone manages to portray different shades of a character which are totally alien to their own. Consequently, I joined the theatres and soon I was amongst the prime faces of the drama club. I lead the team of passionate thespians dominating the competitions to make it one of the most respected theatre groups in the region.

My passion for technology was noted by Searce and soon I was working along with a team of enthusiastic engineers on HappierWork, a futuristic HR product. In the initial year and a half, I engineered multiple features and helped it in achieving a stellar growth.

Though I was happy at HappierWork I joined Adwyze for a more challenging role. This was an early-stage startup in the digital marketing domain that focused on ad creation. I worked closely with the founders (Ex-Googlers and Ex-Facebookers) to transform Adwyze into Clarisights, a real-time analytical platform that redefines how performance marketing is done.

I've built Fynd for a couple of years and recently joined Workindia. At both the places my role has been primarily about architecting distributed systems and developing microservices that powers key features.

My IQ, unrelenting passion for computers and the exceptional EQ acquired via theatres empowers me with deep empathy that results in remarkable work. My code and artefacts possess high readability, topped with performance shrewdness and clear communication.
May it be solution design, client liaisoning or Sprint Planning, I play it all with aplomb.
