About

I'm a CS Graduate from Stony Brook University with 3 years of Software Development experience. I love to tackle challenging problems using code, whether its in a language I already have proficiency in (Python, Java, Golang, C++) or using a new technology where I have to learn as I build a solution. Before pursuing my Masters degree, I worked in Visa as a software Engineer for 3 years in 2 different teams - Merchant Acquiring and Cybersecurity - where I built solutions and products that automated many processes and helped improve the security posture of Visa. I completed my undergraduate degree in Information Technology from National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal. During this time, I was an active member of Institute of Engineers, a tech club where I helped organise seminars and tech discussions on various topics related to Open Source Contribution and Computer Science.
