Work

I've worked in the tech industry for nearly eight years. The initial years were a rollercoaster - founded a startup and worked for a graph database company and a high-frequency trading firm. I discovered that customer delight is my biggest motivator. Since then, I have focused on building consumer-facing and enterprise products.

Apart from my day jobs (listed below), I work on a few side projects from time to time. I also have some open-source projects on GitHub.
