I am a seasoned developer with over 9 years of experience in Ruby on Rails and Golang. My passion lies in tackling complex data structures and algorithm problems, always pushing myself to learn and grow.

Whether it's on the football pitch, cricket field, table tennis table, or badminton court, I'm always up for some fun activities.
