About

I am a graduate student at Northeastern University pursuing a Master of Science in Computer Science. I am particularly interested in high performance distributed applications and security.I love to generate new ideas and devise feasible solutions to problems. My supervisors and colleagues would describe me as a driven, resourceful individual who maintains a positive and proactive attitude. My contribution towards the products I was working on was recognized twice by Accenture by awarding Enterprise level awards for Delivery Excellence and Process Improvement. I have also won a testing innovation competition which was appreciated by the head of financial services in Accenture, India. I am always looking at automating processes and was responsible for coming up with ideas and tools for streamlining the solution development process during my work tenure.
