About Me

Iā€™m a software engineer with over seven years of experience building fintech products and digital solutions at Virtusa, DirectFN, WEGG, and now LinearSix. My passion is solving complex problems through research, debugging, and writing clean, reliable code. I enjoy transforming challenges into systems that work seamlessly and thrive in collaborative environments where shared knowledge drives innovation.

I am driven by a curiosity for debugging, optimization, and emerging technologies, and I excel in collaborative environments where shared knowledge leads to innovation.

Outside of work, I find balance in travel and the outdoors. Hiking, exploring forests, and capturing wildlife through photography give me perspective and fresh energy. That same curiosity and focus I bring to nature also fuel my approach to technology and problem-solving.
