About

My mission is to apply computing to positively impact people's lives and to advance the craft of software development.

I fell in love with the enormous power of programming computers while studying in 8th grade and ever since then I have been doing my passion for both fun and profit. I am a strong believer in the impact of computing to serve humanity and making this world a better place. I have excessive desire to attain excellence in software development - continuously exploring and learning new ideas. I highly value truthfulness and generosity in people. I consider simplicity, practicality and elegance while making choices in life. Besides technology I feel ecstatic about people, history, literature, design, architecture & equestrian sports.
