About

I am an experienced Software Engineer with a strong background in developing scalable solutions and driving impactful projects in the telecom and fintech domains. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work with leading organizations like Airtel and FNZ, where I contributed to building and optimizing technology that supports large-scale business operations and enhances customer experiences. I hold a B.Tech. in Computer Science from NIT Bhopal and am currently pursuing an MBA in International Business at IIFT Delhi, where I am expanding my expertise in strategy, management, and global business practices. This blend of technical and business acumen equips me to bridge the gap between technology and strategy, enabling me to deliver solutions that are both innovative and business-driven. But mostly importantly if nothing else matters then know this about me - I am always striving to be a better person.
