Background

I graduated my Masters degree in Computer Science from Arizona State University, and I'm currently a software engineer at HubSpot. I did my Bachelors in Information and Communication Technology from DA-IICT, India. I have more than one year of experience working in building scalable software end to end, using full stack technologies. My areas of interest in computer science are full stack software engineering, and database management systems.

Having possessed relevant experience in working with various tools and technologies and owning products end to end, I believe my primary driving force is my will to learn and keep on improving my skills. I enjoy keeping up with the latest trends in the tech space.

Outside of work, I’m usually found surfing YouTube, playing tennis, reading books, learning more about personal finance or listening to music.
