About


I am a software developer with a master's degree in computer science. I have strong affinity towards software & web application development and data analysis. Checkout my resume for my skillset.

With more than 4 years of exposure to various phases of software development, I consider myself pretty good at analyzing problems and delivering quality solutions. I particularly enjoy coding programs that tend to test my logic. Some people might consider me fastidious with comments and indentation.
