As a Computer Science graduate of Syracuse University, my journey in tech is driven by a singular vision: crafting software solutions that drive business value and also create excitement to the users. I love coding in Python. Recently I added Terraform and AWS Cloud computing to that list. I also have an enthusiasm for artificial intelligence and machine learning fields. I am invigorated by the challenge of solving complex problems. My academic and project experiences have honed my skills, enabling me to navigate and contribute to the dynamic landscape of technology with agility and foresight.
