About Me
Being a positive, passionate and curious person, I'm an avid technology enthusiast always looking for an opportunity to learn and grow as a software engineer or an analyst. I'm open to new technologies and entry level tech job opportunities. I've done various projects developing in a variety of languages ranging from C/C++ to ruby. Along the way I've learned fullstack web development as well. I'm keen to involve myself in projects and always try to get the ball rolling. Apart from this, I've played field hockey at a national level in India and regularly play soccer now. I love reading books, tech news and always look to keep myself updated about the ever changing world of tech.
