About

"Trying to transform myself through curiosity and always eager to learn." Rejected Software Engineer Offer from Cadent Gas Limited, UK, now pursuing my passion for study. I am a Computer Science & Engineering student at IIT Patna with hands-on research experience at India’s premier organizations. I have interned at DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation), working on a research project under the guidance of esteemed DRDO scientists. Later, as a Research Project Trainee at NESAC (North-Eastern Space Applications Centre) under ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation), I worked with Shree Nilay Nishant (Scientist/Engineer-E) in the Geoinformatics and IT Division to develop a query-based search chatbot for the North-Eastern Space Data Repository (NESDR). Technology excites me, and I am always in awe of the change it drives in the world. Certain skills that I have learned include Data Structures and Algorithms (Java), Web Development (HTML, CSS, JS, Node.js, Express.js, MySQL, MongoDB & React) and I am currently exploring Android Development and Machine Learning techniques. And what I might lack in skills, I make up for with my determination to learn. Beyond tech, I'm a music lover & always exploring new things.
