About Me

Throughout my life, I have been searching for new experiences. Be it some new technology to learn, spending time in a cargo ship, riding for miles in rain or moving to new city. This search has guided my professional career and my personal life. I have experience in multiple domains, multiple technologies, multiple roles. I have worked in more cities than I can count on my hand. I have forgotten names of the technologies I learnt. All because search never stops.
