I am a Software Engineer from an interdisciplinary (Mechatronics) background primarily focused on Computer Vision, and Python, with a solid foundation in coding, testing, code reviews and other software engineering practices.

Currently, I am a software development Engineer at Amazon. In the past, I worked as a Software engineer at Gkfit and a Computer Vision Engineer at Bigthinx. In 2018, I co-founded an e-commerce platform ClothX (now archived). As of 2019, I have earned my undergraduate degree in Mechatronics Engineering from Anna University.

My interests lie in the fields of software engineering, information theory, digital control, and electromechanical control systems. I enjoy building automation projects and developing software.
