About Me
Since 1999
Personal Life
During the 2020 pandemic, alongside my engineering, I delved into Product Design. After completing 2 specialisations in UI/UX design, I have worked in startups handling most of the pre-development product journey since the past 3 years. In my free time, I love to travel all over the world, play God of War on my Playstation and volunteer at a local dog shelter.
