About

With over 9 years of experience in the IT industry, I am the Founder of Koottu, a social platform for Malayalees and a Salesforce Consultant at Service New Brunswick. As a Salesforce Consultant, I leverage my technical expertise and project management skills to design and develop complex and scalable solutions that meet the needs of various government departments and agencies. I have extensive experience in Lightning Web Component (LWC) development, integration, and documentation, as well as Salesforce Community Cloud and Lightning. As a Founder at Koottu, I combine my passion for emerging technologies and online monetization to create a platform that fosters meaningful connections among Malayalees, blending AI-driven matchmaking with a vibrant community experience. I also have a keen interest in cryptocurrency, blockchain, and IoT, and I constantly explore the frontiers of technology to stay ahead of industry trends. Additionally, I have demonstrated proficiency in home automation, using HASSIO, IFTTT, and TASMOTA to solve real-world problems. My mission is to revolutionize how Malayalees connect and build relationships, while prioritizing user privacy and security.
