Me in a Nutshell
A passionate individual who always thrives to work on front end solutions which develop sustainable systems to create impact. I have a strong affinity for working on and developing Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision solutions for the healthcare domain. More recently, I have developed a strong interest towards developing front-end web solutions.
Outside of the techno world, my love for the nature takes me travelling places to explore the unexplored, have new experiences, get new inspirations, and be on toes for the surprises the life has in store for me.
I am a big foodie with a very diverse taste buds. My explorations for lip smacking food is endless. I love to try out every cuisine when I get the chance. Food is another movitation to explore places and keep learnig about the culinary practices of any region.
Techinical Prowess
Professionally, I work for Oracle Health & AI as a Software Engineer IV. Over the years, I have been lucky to have got the chance to work on both sides of the front-end application development. The Windows Desktop Applications as well as the Web Applications. I started with VB .Net, migrating to C# .Net and bits & pieces with VC++ when needed. Having spent the majority of my professional journey with C# .Net, I needed to explore something new which has now put me in my path to explore the Ocean of Web applications. And nothing better than starting to react with React. This new phase has been all sort of enthusiasm to gain a plethora of knowledge with web technologies. Not only React, but you get to know HTML, Javascript, CSS, & other learnings the web world has to offer and that makes things more exciting.
Beyond my professional coding explorations, I never miss a chance to get involved with code to remain updated with the latest technologies, and skills that interests me. Having been introduced to programming from as early as 5th standard, the TURTLE in LOGO with its basic set of actions - FD, BK, RT, & LT got me intrigued into the fascinating world of computers and programming. This curiosity to expand my skillset has driven me towards learning Python & developing light-weight front-end stuffs with python . I have a great affinity for deep learning and computer vision in the healthcare domain. The field of Artificial Intelligence is evolving faster than ever and is predicted to grow increasingly pervasive as technology develops, revolutionising various sectors including healthcare with cutting-edge development across the globe. This drives me to keep pace with these innovations in AI and computer vision space within the healthcare domain and ensure that I keep evolving technically.
The Three Cs
Define myself in 3 Words?
Coding, Cooking, & Camera...
Coding... 👨💻
I guess we have spoken enough about it. More about my coding explorations can be found in the skills page & the projects page...
Cooking...🧑🍳
A hobby... a stress buster... whatever it be like, I love to cook. I take pride in my culinary skills. Like I want to develop my coding skills, I want to be emerging and evolving in my cooking explorations too. Cooking with love for family, friends and serving something that excites the taste buds is my passion. The inspiration for cooking comes from my mother (as it does for everone who loves cooking) and the realisation that I can cook well comes with every appreciation from friends, and family. And with every such realisation, comes more confidence to try my hands on something new the next time. Too early to tell, but I guess my youngest & the best fan girl has been my 'lil daughter Kia ❤️ who I love cooking for.
An avid follower of the cullinary shows, all of the Master Chef Series, the chefs and their little nuskha's keep driving me. Learning new plating skills which is one of my very important aspect as people always eat the food visually first, is it looking good, is it appealing, not appealing. We always enjoy seeing food first as it preceeds consumption. I very well intend to ever keep this passion alive and whip up new dishes always.

Camera... 📸
An enthusiastic photographer, the joys of photographing nature & landscapes is immense to me. Great landscapes, beautiful sceneries, mountains, rivers, valleys excites me in the same way like that small 'lil kid getting excited on entering the house of candies. I guess this hidden passion and intensity for landscape and nature photography comes from my father. He was fond of travelling, exploring new places and made sure he always carried his Kodak 📸. Capturing all the beautiful landscapes, family pictures and then waiting for the films to get developed days after the vacation. The excitement of waiting for the pictures then brewed the passion I have now.
The fresh air and the spectacular views be it a bright sunny day or a coludy rainy day, photography is worth any kind of conditions and environment. It’s about being at the right place at the right time. Sometimes you get lucky, and sometimes it's about waiting for that right moment and the right place to get the right click. Whatever it be like, it's all worth the wait. Making those random road side stops just because you just got spectacular view of the sunset. Or waiting for that 'lil extra time to get the best shot. Every wait in photography seems good.
It just does not finish after that one click, a series of clicks follows and choosing your best shot, the post processing involved to enhance the picture, it's all a great learning experience with every single picture. It helps develop a keen attention to detail to notice slight changes in your field of view. Every day will invite you to explore something new (for e.g. watch changing position of the sunrise moves northward to southwards across seasons). That’s the real beauty of photography!. It opens up the shutter with an infinite possibilities for field of views to capture with your camera. It’s all about noticing those smallest of the details.

Connect & Collaborate
I am always in for connecting & collaborating with like-minded individuals for developing something cool with code, work on AI stuffs, talk about the culinary experiences, go on a nature photography tour, talk about Manchester United, Cricket, Royal Challengers Bangalore, or just have a chai coffee-pe-charcha I'm always ready. I am available in almost every social platform and my inbox is open for all.
I am just a request away to collaborate.
