About

I’m a Software Developer currently working at General Mills as a Machine Learning Engineer. Previously, I’ve also been part of the DevOps team. During that time, I’ve gained hands-on experience with CI/CD tools like Jenkins and GitHub Actions, along with exposure to Docker, Kubernetes (K8s) fundamentals, Python scripting, and Datadog for observability. I hold a degree in Information Technology from Thadomal Shahani Engineering College, and I’ve completed multiple internships focused on full-stack web development and Python automation. I have good programming skills in C++ & Python with a problem solving mindset. During the undergrad years I had delved deep into competitive programming with over 800 problems solved in Leetcode. Problem solving is my forte and that’s what I like to do.
