ABOUT

Hello and welcome to my virtual corner of the internet! I am a Master's student at Arizona State University (ASU), where I am diving deep into the exciting world of computer science with a focus on cybersecurity. I've already had some amazing opportunities to apply my knowledge, including a summer internship at Amazon where I honed my skills as a software developer and got to work with a variety of AWS services. Before that, I spent a year at Cognizant as a project associate, where I not only learned to design UI using dotnet but also created apps for both Android and iOS. My undergraduate journey began at College of Engineering Pune (COEP), where I studied Electronics and Telecommunication. When I'm not studying or working, you can usually find me curled up with a mystery novel or self-help book. I'm also a fitness enthusiast and enjoy going to the gym, as well as trying out new things like learning new programming languages or practicing my foreign language skills. And let's not forget my love for cooking! I hope you enjoy reading about my adventures and journey here on my website.
