Hi! I’m a Software Development Engineer with 4+ years of experience and a master’s graduate from Indiana University Bloomington (IUB).

My areas of expertise are Software Development, DevOps, Testing, Integration, Data Engineering and Data Analytics. Mostly worked on Python, Django/Flask, Apache Airflow, Apache Spark, AWS, and DevOps. I have a versatile background & a ‘can do’ attitude.

I like blogging and sharing knowledge. I’ve built a server at home from scratch! I used it to learn various technologies and to contribute to the open-source. I love tech, philosophy, literature, and history. My favorite books of all time are ‘The Alchemist’ and ‘Chanakya Neeti’.
