Engineering

There is no substitute for hard work.

I was born in Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh, India). I attended my schooling in different parts of the country. This provided me with an opportunity to work, learn, and interact with people from different cultures and diverse backgrounds.

In my early childhood, I loved roller skating as it required a lot of balance and coordination. While preparing for a state-level competition, I fractured my right arm in the process. With three months left, I was disappointed that I was not able to participate due to my lack of preparation. However, with very little time left post my recovery, I did not give up on the practice and finished 5th in the competition. This event taught me the importance of hard work, determination, and never giving up. I have been a strong advocate of these qualities ever since.

I recently finished my undergraduate in Software engineering. During the course, I completed multiple internships where I worked on back-end technologies and mentored students as a teaching assistant. I like working on problems that challenge me to think and work harder.

I love to travel by road and enjoy hiking while listening to music.
