About Me

Currently, I'm working as a Software Engineer at IDFC FIRST Bank. I've done my Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology from D.Y. Patil University. My journey as a developer started since I joined my college. Web Development was the first thing that crossed my mind. I took some online courses and started working on android later on. I love playing video games in my free time. I was always intrigued by how such games are made from scratch, so I started exploring Unity (a game engine). Things I can work on - MERN stack, Kubernetes, Unity3D.
Ping me up if you want to know more!
