Who I am

I graduated from the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK) in 2019 with a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering. Since then, I've primarily worked as a backend engineer, delivering projects in distributed systems.

I enjoy software engineering, collaborating with developers, and diving deep into debugging—whether it's my code or helping others.

When I'm not programming, you'll find me watching documentaries on YouTube, playing football, jump roping (skipping), fidgeting with Rubik's cubes, or playing chess.
