About

Professional Profile

I am a clean code artisan; curating algorithms, doodling programs and squashing bugs since 2014.
Often known to be conventionally unconventional, I am skilled in JAVA, Kotlin, Python, R, Node.JS, and C++ (and counting). Having worked in E-commerce, service ordering and delivery logistics and Hyperlocal Service Platforms, I have come to realize that challenges really excite me; they in-fact stir a motivation to surprise myself every time!
Making amazing android applications and predicting the future these days. (Primarily through Machine Learning)
