PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
I am a software engineer with a degree in computer science and 5 years of experience building solutions in a
variety of domain and tech-stacks. I am very adaptable, a fast learner and flexible with different technologies.
I have significant experience working with startups and fast-moving teams with a fixed deadline. I set a high
bar of excellence for myself on every project I undertake and try to beat it.
I'm currently working on integrating AI/ML capabilities into every application I build. I love people and
connect with them easily.
