I am good at what I do.
I am a seasoned backend engineer in a wide variety of domains and technologies. I started my career in 2007 with embedded operating systems and moved on to focus majorly on backend server technologies, application development and infrastructure. My career history is up-to-date in LinkedIn. Updated resume can be found here.
I am a generalist software developer and I love it that way. I like to work with diverse technologies, languages and domains. I enjoy learning and being a generalist plays in that favor.
