I am from the enchanting region of Kashmir valley.
My journey in the realm of software engineering spans over 10+ years, during which I've honed my skills and expertise in crafting innovative solutions. Passion fuels my work, and my areas of expertise extend to the intricate world of Technology, where I find joy in exploring the nuances of JavaScript, ReactJS, TypeScript, and all things Web-related. Embracing the ethos of collaboration and knowledge-sharing, I am an advocate for the open-source community, contributing to and benefiting from the wealth of collective wisdom.
Beyond the screen and lines of code, I am equally passionate about life's simple pleasures. In my downtime, you'll find me immersed in the soul-stirring melodies of music, a personal escape that rejuvenates my creativity. However, my most cherished moments are spent in the company of my four-legged companions, my dogs. Their playful antics bring a delightful balance to the intensity of my professional pursuits.
