I love making things. From creating the CAD model of a product to designing circuit for an electronic device to programming hardware or developing software, I enjoy all the steps needed to transform an idea to a functional prototype. The majority of my day is spent working on exciting projects which involves making a variety of high tech devices ( Top secret stuff ;) ).

I enjoy reading on technology, psychology and economics. When not working, reading or daydreaming I am either making sketches on my iPad; or I am making some delicious food. I enjoy playing tennis and I love to keep myself excited about life by participating in adventure sports. Mountaineering, Hiking, Mountain Biking, Whitewater Rafting, Snow-skiing, Snow-boarding, Rock Climbing, Cliff Jumping, Para Sailing - I have done it all.

I believe that life is made richer by doing new things; so I spend my weekends volunteering for different causes and meeting new people.
