About

I'm a dedicated Java developer who enjoys building reliable solutions. I regularly practice on CodeChef and LeetCode to sharpen my problem-solving skills.


I work with frameworks such as Spring MVC and manage projects with Maven or Gradle. My SQL knowledge supports my backend development, and I rely on Mockito and JUnit for testing.


At Tejas Networks I built Java applications that improved workflows. I gather requirements carefully and deliver robust solutions while following Agile and Scrum practices.


I currently work as a software engineer at IBM on the CoreGuuT platform and enjoy taking on new challenges.
