About

👋 Hello there. I'm a software engineer with a strong product focus, known for adapting quickly and thriving in diverse environments. I enjoy building products from the ground up and leading teams through fast-paced startups. At QLU.ai, I led the core engineering team to develop a platform that secured multiple multi-million dollar contracts. I also maintained a 100% Job Success Rate and earned a Top Rated badge (top 10%) on Upwork.

While pursuing a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (CGPA: 3.88/4.0), I landed a full-time role and received performance bonuses within the first few months.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about music 🎧 and fascinated by the vastness of the universe and our tiny place in it. 🌌
