About

Growing up, I used to always get excited with Maths and Logic. Later I realized that both can be clubbed together in solving a few coding problems. The happiness which every successful submission of a coding problem gave was unparallel.  Early in my career I interned with a few startups which gave me an opportunity to solve some real world problems through my skill set. I realized that I love building new impactful things. Later, I joined an early stage startup as a Lead trying to make cloud optimization invisible for the customers. As a fast paced startup, this gave me an opportunity to perform different roles and I was responsible for building a couple of very important projects in the cloud security domain from scratch. This gave me experience in project planning, product management, software development and being empathetic to customers too.  We got acquired in 2018 and since then I am part of Nutanix working on a few really exciting projects in the multi cloud security domain. I am working as a senior member of the team and is responsible for the public cloud development. We developed a language query editor for the cloud infrastructure which is creating a huge positive impact in our customers' hybrid cloud journey.  As an individual, my core beliefs are honesty and never quit attitude. I am extremely practical and believe that evolving is the only way forward. I am intensely motivated to use my technical and leadership experience in solving some real world problems and contributing to the product's success.
