About Me

I am a highly motivated computer science graduate student currently pursuing my Master of Science in Computer Science at the University of Texas at Arlington. I am currently interning at Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions working on MS Azure Spring Apps, Terraform and Jenkins. I also have a significant 3-YOE experience as Senior Software Engineer with a strong background in computer science. My journey in the tech industry has been marked by notable achievements and impactful contributions.

My career took off at Brillio, where I served as a Software Engineer for 1.8 years from September 2020 to April 2022. My contributions and hardwork was recognised and I was soon promoted to Senior Software Engineer where I served for 1.5 years from April 2022 to August 2023. During this time, I had the opportunity to work on a crucial Cell Site Management project for Verizon as a Full Stack Java Developer. I am proud to highlight that during my time here, my efforts were acknowledged with prestigious awards, including Employee of The Month and Employee of The Quarter.

Prior to my role at Brillio, I had gained valuable experience as a Backend Engineer Intern at the National Institute of Technology, Surathkal, India. This internship provided me with hands-on experience in cutting-edge technology such as Bluetooth Low Energy, Mongo DB, Android Studio and Flask.

My skills encompass a wide range of programming languages and tools, including Java, Python, JavaScript, SQL, C, TypeScript, and various frameworks such as Spring Boot, React, jQuery and more. I have also earned certifications, including the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe 5) Practitioner and completion of the Fundamentals of Backend Engineering Udemy Course. I love automating mundane tasks and dockerizing them for deployment.

One significant achievement in my career is the publication of a paper titled "Machine Learning-Based Ensemble Network Security." This research was published in a reputable journal, Springer Journal, in November 2021. You can read more about it here.

When I am not coding or working, you can find me reading a book, watching a movie or a TV show or stand-up comedy videos. I occasionally enjoy long walks, hiking, motorcycling and admiring the seas. My Spotify playlist is filled with pop-rock songs from the 80's 🤘. If the stars align, I sometimes pick up my guitar as well!

Please feel free to contact me for opportunities!
