Development

A small pen stand or software, building something of my own always intrigued me. I started developing softwares in my sophomore year. Computers opened a new dimension to my thoughts, the hunt to know more went on. In the process, I have worked in over 20 organizations in various roles. Currently, I am trying to understand automation and chaos engineering.

Blogging

I wrote my first blog to share my college experience, but now I see how important blogs are to share knowledge with each other. I have written many blogs on a variety of topics mostly based on technology and lifestyle. Currently, I write as a freelance writer for companies
