about me

SDE II at Flipkart. Ex-Microsoft.

Before joining the search team of startup research platform, Tracxn, I worked as software developer intern in the personalization and NLP teams of a couple of startups and have proven myself to be a good learner and a problem solver.

I am looking for opportunities where I can get to work on real-world challenging problems.
