About

Hey there! I'm thrilled to share a bit about my journey in the tech world. Currently, I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Accenture, where I work with a leading BFSI client in the insurance domain as a backend and integration engineer. My role involves driving digital transformation initiatives by building and integrating APIs, modernizing legacy systems, and deploying microservices to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Previously, I was a Senior Tech Associate at D. E. Shaw India Private Limited. My days were filled with diving into cool projects, from development, unit testing, building WAN links, creating computer networks to system administration and everything in between. Passionate about software development, I am undergoing a Fellowship in Software Development (React + Springboot) at Crio.Do. During this intensive program, I built several industry-grade projects from scratch, showcasing my proficiency in a range of technologies including Java, Spring Boot, MongoDB, and more. Looking forward to leveraging my skills and experiences to contribute meaningfully to tech projects and initiatives. Before that, I was a Full Stack Engineer Intern at Inovatyv. It was an awesome experience where I got to dive into Next.js, Prismic CMS, and really hone my skills in optimizing website performance. But it's not all about work! I've also had the chance to give back and share my knowledge. As a Student Mentor at WooTech, I've had the pleasure of guiding budding web developers through the ins and outs of building MERN-based Ecommerce Applications. And let me tell you, seeing them grow and succeed has been incredibly rewarding. And let's not forget my time as a Teaching Assistant at Camp K12, where I got to share my passion for tech with kids in Grades 6-10. We dived into game development, web development, and even touched on some cool AI concepts. It was such a blast! So if you're into innovation, education, or just want to chat tech, I'd love to connect!
