I'm a Software Engineering Analyst at Goldman Sachs. I have B.tech in Computer Engineering from VJTI, Mumbai. I'm deeply passionate about software development and innovations in the field. I like to build projects that solve real world problems. I'm also an active contributor to the open-source community. When I'm not tinkering code, you can find me reading a book or watching a good movie. Dive down to read more about me!
