About Me

I do things that make a difference.

Welcome to my digital playground. I'm passionate about making open-source more approachable, creating technology to empower people, and contributing to the open-source community. You can find me building technology for various domains, training peers or newbies in software development, solving problems of tech enthusiast on stackoverflow and identifying the right talent.

I enjoy working with people with progressive mindset. In the last decade, the domains I have worked-in include Pharma, FinTech, Travel, Transportation, Defense, Telecom, Digital Marketing & Logistics.
