About me


I hail from Neyveli, a small town on the coastal lines of Tamil Nadu, India;

I am passionate about developing software to tackle challenging real-world problems; Software Engineering, Cloud Computing and Machine Learning are my fields of interest; My work over the past five years helped gain deeper understanding and hands-on experience in multiple verticals which include backend and full-stack development, database modeling and management (SQL & NoSQL), CI/CD (DevOps), external authentication (OAuth2, OpenID Connect, SAML), web applications and services, site reliability and scalability, microservice architecture, REST APIs, containerization (Docker), UI/UX design, cloud computing, AWS (Amazon Web Services), Microsoft Azure, and intelligent chatbots;

I have been into professional table tennis for more than a decade now; Represented Tamil Nadu in the national games in 2009 and 2010; When I'm not chasing TT dreams, I'm kicking it with football!

I have an affinity for filmmaking (a big fan of Akira Kurosawa); I directed a short film that was honoured in the 'under 20 category' short film contest conducted by Dinamani in 2015, and I released my second short film titled "Kaleidoscope" on February 1, 2024.
