I graduated from Harcourt Butler Technical University Kanpur with Information Technology major in the year 2021. During my undergraduation I interned with HackerEarth where I was working as a Content Analyst Intern and was awarded with the SPOT award for outstanding contribution, prior to that I was working with Nettyffy Technologies as a Software Developer, there I worked on a chrome plugin that is published on Chrome Web Store. After completing my graduate coursework I joined Paytm as a full-time Software Engineer. During my tenure at Paytm, I was awarded with the Paytm RockStar Award for outstanding contribution during the quarter Oct'21 - Dec'21. Currently I'm working with Walmart Global Tech as a Software Engineer primarily in the area of backend development. I have keen interest in the area of Java Full Stack Development, Distributed Computing, Cloud Technologies, Data Structures and Algorithms. My preferred tech stack includes but not limited to Java, JavaScript (Node JS), Spring Boot. For a detailed list of my projects and achievements, check out my CV.

Apart from my undergraduate coursework, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. I enjoy interacting with new people to know what's happening around the world. Also I like to read books.
When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I am an aspiring software engineer, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the world of computer science.
