Messing up with gadgets and finding ways to break into them was my go to activity as a kid. It was the Nintendo Gameboy and my mother's computer(MS-CIT) book which helped me realise that I loved computers. I decided to pursue computer science when I was in 8th grade. After that, I went from building C code on TurboC Compiler to building full stack applications all by myself. During this process of finding what I want to get out of my life, I learned different technology stack, I built social startups, Won some prestigious hackathons. This passion of computers and building cool stuff to solve social, sometimes personal problems has led me to be the kind of person that I am today.

Other than being a software developer, I enjoy researching about world issues and their solutions. I'm a risk taker and prefer solo travel. A frequent visitor of Hackernews, Reddit and The Guardian. Loves solitude, Loves food, Loves tropical house music. Loves And hates Social Media.

On sundays, I’m probably working on my open source initiative The Aamba Project or OpenJobApp.org or Cooking some amazing comfort food.

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I am an aspiring chef and hoping to learn baking this year.
