About Me

Profile Image

A software engineer at Red Hat, who is currently working on GlusterFS and Openshift Container Storage.

I have engaged in multiple domains and technologies in my 2 years of professional experience. Some of them are developing a testing framework using python for a distributed file system, leading the development of a website at Layer5 using Gatsby, managing and mentoring new folks in the open-source community.

I am into open-source contribution since 2019, and with time earned the badge of a UI Maintainer/Meshmate at Layer5.

Occassionaly, I do freelancing to gain experience and learn new technologies.

I play PC games, watch standup videos to get those brain cells to relax and chill!
