My Story

From the very beginning, I was obsessed with the idea of solving practical problems through software. I initially started to code in C/C++ and then dove into more robust languages like Java and Python. I am currently pursuing Masters in Computer Science at UT Dallas. Throughout my course, I have participated in numerous coding competitions and hackathons eventually even winning a few. I interned at 4 companies with the purpose of understanding how software projects are carried out at an industrial level.

As my graduate course is near completion, I have realized that there is a lot of stuff out there regarding software development which I have yet to learn. I am on a mission to solve complex problems and I am confident that my coding skills will enable me to do so.
