About

A short introduction

I am a Computer Engineer graduated from GEC with a strong foundation in software development, test automation, and full-stack web applications. Driven by curiosity and a passion for open-source technologies, cloud computing, and Artificial Intelligence, I love transforming complex ideas into functional, scalable software.

My technical journey includes hands-on experience in both building and breaking software. During my time as an Engineering Intern at OneShield India, I focused on QA and Test Automation, writing robust test cases for enterprise-level software using Selenium and Cucumber. On the development side, I enjoy building responsive cross-platform applications, having developed a full-stack social networking application using the MERN stack and React Native.

Beyond coding, I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments. Whether I’m regularly tackling algorithmic challenges in competitive programming contests or leading a team to manage live events as a Coordinator for our technical festival, TECHNIX, I enjoy problem-solving under pressure and driving projects to success.

If you’re interested in contributing in some open-source projects I work on, feel free to get in touch.

Writing

Articles & notes

I write about things I’m learning — programming, design, and whatever else is on my mind.

How I learn a language with small projects

A short walk-through of the way I approach a new programming language: pick a tiny idea, build it end to end, and let the problems teach the syntax. This is placeholder content — replace it with a real article.
