About Myself

Over the years, I’ve developed an interest in building tools, whether they are helpful scripts, libraries, process automations or frameworks. As a Software Engineer, seeing that interest mature into building a product that helps end users in a thoughtful way is truly satisfying. I am excited by opportunities to take initiatives and working on highly leveraged projects that pose challenges and require growth. Graduated with a Master’s degree in Software Engineering from San Jose State University in 2019 and currently working at ThousandEyes. I'm known among colleagues for being quick learner, self-starter and having strong wit and attention to detail no matter the complexity of the project.

I'm highly effective at combining creativity and problem solving to develop user-friendly applications. I enjoy generating new ideas and devising feasible solutions to broadly relevant problems. I always maintain a positive, proactive attitude when faced with adversity. I get a lot of satisfaction from the constant learning and puzzle solving that comes with my profession and contributing to a successful and worthwhile product. Interested to work in areas related to Distributed Systems, Cloud Infrastructure, and Micro-Services.
