Hi, I'm a Backend Software Engineer with a keen interest in everything up-and-coming in tech.

My interest in the world of tech stems partly from a rather early introduction to computers. A Pentium IV, of which I quickly grew fond of and soon began exploring its many intricacies. I stumbled upon a tutorial that promised to open a door for me to allow for a much deeper understanding of computers by giving me more granular control over my computer. Enthusiastically following this tutorial led my computer to boot up in Ubuntu operating system for the first time giving me a taste of the true capabilities of a computer by indulging me in command-line interfaces and shell programming. This consequently had a profound impact on my interests and I was set upon pursuing a career in tech.

Currently, I am pursuing a Masters in Computer Science degree at Arizona State University and have previously worked for 2+ years as a Backend Software Engineer at a Series B, Silicon Valley based technology startup building a product from the ground up that helps businesses automate the tedious process of privacy compliance.

I want to solve meaningful and high-impact problems that improve the lives of the people around me. My interest areas include working on Distributed, Scalable, and High availability systems. I love building data-intensive applications and solving problems that require analysis and contain engineering/design challenges.
