About Me

I'm a Full Stack Developer primarily focused on Web Application Development but also handled Desktop and Mobile Development.

Working in a startup environment for 7+ years I have delivered projects both in individual capacity and as a team member. I've done product development starting from the ideation phase to delivery. I've worked directly with business owners in gathering requirements and planning. Managed various teams and resources across different functional groups.

Worked on different types of architectures like SPAs, Serverless (Functions and Containers) and Microservices. Though I worked mostly on Azure cloud services, I have a fair idea on other cloud services as well.

I am a Alexa Enthusiast and I also contribute to open source community a bit and explore around IoT as a hobby.

Entrepreneurship

I was trying to do my own startup. Though tech savy I didn't have enough experience in business side which made things difficult. The best I did was got my startup into the Top 20 finalist of "Microsoft Accelerator Program - 2012". I presented the idea to a jury consisting of senior executives from Microsoft and other top people in industry. I had difficulty in explaining some question on value proposition and key differentiator. After that I put this on hold and switched back to tech to learn more on business and retry later.
