Love with your heart, and use your head for everything else!
~ Captain disillusion.
I am a Computer Science Undergraduate Student from Thapar University. I enjoy problem-solving and coding. Always strive to bring 100% to the work I do. I have worked on technologies like Python, Django, MySQL, PostgreSQL, HTML5, CSS, Java, C++ and machine learning during my bachelors. I have 6 months of professional work experience which helped me strengthen my experience in Python and Machine Learning. I am passionate about developing complex applications that solve real-world problems impacting millions of users.
Moving on from software development, I always had a special spark for system management. I use to play with VPSs, trying to do all sorts of stuff, and thanks to this, at the same time I was studying I also got to help some gaming communities with their virtual infrastructures, mounting forums, deploying servers, and also managing them.
I enjoy watching movies, I'm a big fan of action, sci-fi, and fantasy films/series, I am a potterhead and marvelite. And about foods.. pizza, icecreams, momos and noodles, have a special place in my stomach :p
