A passionate full stack software engineer having 7 years of experience in building scalable enterprise systems. I have worked predominantly with the JVM and Javascript ecosystem but currently exploring Rails. For me, software engineering is all about solving problems in the most optimal way.

When I am not coding I love to play playstation, read anything about aviation or go out for a long drive and of-course I am foodie by heart.
