Hello There!

I am a computer Science graduate having love for application developments. I do enjoy coding and always ready to develop business acumen.

I like to take a risk and face challenges. I am a quick learner. I am extrovert. I like to talk on various topics and how deep is our space always fascinates me. I like to play a game till last ball with same passion and dedication and it is same in work as well..

I left the job and made my hands dirty by founding a startup because of my sheer passion towards startups. I like to lead the work and people, almost 8 years of experience helped me to change my "do it now" attitude to "do it right".
