Say Hi!

Someone who loves data and everything related to it. Current ventures lie in the field of data engineering and machine learning. Looking for exciting opportunities to work and collaborate with bright minds and explore the world of data together.

If you're embarking on an exciting project or seeking fresh perspectives, don't hesitate to reach out via Mail or Whatsapp.  I'm always eager to connect, exchange ideas, and explore new avenues of exploration and growth together.



About this site

Welcome to my home on the internet. This site functions as a blog/portfolio, a place to share code and thoughts. Opinions of my own.

I learnt how to build this site from the most awesome people in the community:
