About me...


I am a budding, enthusiastic and hardworking software engineer with a passion to learn the latest technologies and programming languages in the software industry .Currently, I am doing my Master’s in Computer Science at San Jose State University (SJSU). Prior to my Master’s, I worked as a Systems Engineer at Infosys, a leading IT company in India, for close to two years.

My work experience at Infosys helped me develop technical and interpersonal skills. I was involved in two major projects for a fortune 500 client where I was a core member of the development team. The projects involved architecting several back end and front end changes to proprietary software applications using Java, SQL, JSP and Servlets.

Apart from gaining technical competence, I have striven to become a well-rounded software engineer. My work and educational experience has helped me build attributes such as –

-Leadership and Owning Responsibility: Working in small teams enabled me to take on a lot of responsibility and be accountable for successful project completion. Apart from coding, I also took the added responsibility of creating the Technical Requirements Document for my projects.

-Team Player and Effective Communicator: Working in cross functional and geographically diverse teams honed my communication skills to effectively communicate project progress and meet deadlines.


-Quick Learner: At Infosys, I worked closely with the Subject Matter Expert’s (SME) of the software applications that I handled, to quickly build my technical knowledge.


-Multi-Tasking:Methodical with attention to detail and ability to multi-task to handle multiple projects effectively



At SJSU, I am focused on equipping myself with fundamentals of key technologies such as Big Data, Cloud Computing, Information Security etc. that will help me achieve my ambitions of being a highly successful Software engineer..

My technical skills and expertise include:
-C, Java , SQL, JSP, Cryptography and HTML.
