Introduction

Hello! I'm a Computer Science graduate student from Arizona State University with a specialization in Distributed Systems. I have a year of experience as a Software Engineer at eBaotech India Pvt. Ltd., where I worked on our Platform as a Service (PaaS) product and various client projects. Prior to that, I interned at Business Setu, where I contributed to the development of an accounting application, working with Java and MySQL.

I completed my undergrad in Computer Science at the School of Computer Science and Information Technology, DAVV, in Indore, India. I grew up in the small town of Guna, where I made lifelong friends and cherished memories. I’m passionate about becoming a Solutions Architect to design and build comprehensive systems with an in-depth understanding of end-to-end processes.

Outside of work, I’m a big sports enthusiast—I follow soccer, cricket, UFC, and golf. I’m a lifelong fan of Arsenal FC, and I even played interstate soccer in high school. I’m also passionate about reading, gaming (Counter-Strike 1.6 is a personal favorite), and enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and calisthenics. I also love Music, especially alternative rock, it is my favorite genre.

Thanks for visiting my portfolio. I’m excited to share my journey with you!
