About Me

I’m currently pursuing my Master of Science in Information Management from The University of Washington. Prior to this, I've worked as a Cloud Solutions Architect for Microsoft where I worked with over 250 business customers globally, providing services, envisioning requirements, delivering solutions on cloud in the world of Azure. Apart from this, I've worked as a Software Development Intern at a tech-startup where my team and I designed, developed, and deployed an application serving doctors in the australian market. I am currently working as a Product Analyst and Management intern at GEN. A leading gender equity certification firm in the United states. Working on ideating and creating a product tool, we are evisioning a Sustainably Regenerative Workplace which combines the power of Diversity and Equity Dashboard and standardized recognized cerification, one of its first kind in the US.

I also love sports. Talk to me about F1 and basketball. Being in the university basketball team back in undergrad taught me sportsman spirit and helped develop a NEVER GIVE UP attitude. I really enjoy reading - Dan Brown is a mastermind. I am also almost always the first one to hit the dance floor. Having been in Seattle not too long ago I am still exploring the place- Hit me up it you want to connect on anything!
