Hello, and welcome! I'm an accomplished technology professional with a solid foundation in Software Engineering, and a Master's degree in Computer Science from Northeastern University, where I graduated with an impressive GPA of 3.96.
Starting my journey with a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology from the University of Mumbai, I've consistently strived for excellence, which is reflected in my academic performance and my professional journey. During my tenure at Tata Consultancy Services, I spent over two years soaking up valuable experience while working with an array of technologies such as Angular, Java, Spring, and SQL.
In the summer of 2022, I took up an enriching internship at Meta, where I was part of the Meta Business Suite: Business Permissions team. Here, I had the privilege of expanding my technical repertoire, exploring diverse technologies like React, React Native, Mercurial, Hack, and GraphQL.
Currently I am working on the backend technologies at Westlake Services, LLC as a Software Engineer 1, and I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems and am always eager to learn and grow.
