About Me

I am an experienced Software Engineer with over 8+ years of expertise in developing scalable applications and web services, proficient in Java technologies like Spring Boot and Play Framework, and building user-friendly frontends with React and deploying applications on AWS, GCP, or on-premise (like this website!).

At Europcar International, I am currently working on backend development, designing and implementing robust APIs and microservices.

I hold a Master’s in Information Technology from Institut supérieur d’électronique de Paris and a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Telecommunications from the University of Mumbai.

I am proficient in a range of programming languages and tools, including Java, Scala, Kotlin, Python, and JavaScript/TypeScript, and I contribute to open-source projects like the Gradle plugin for publishing artifacts to Sonatype Maven Central.
