Profile: https://flows.cv/rohithjayaraman

Software engineer by profession, Software engineer by passion.

Having the ability to code and solve problems (preferably real-world-ish) is what makes coding so interesting to me.

My love for programming took me through a B.Tech at SASTRA University, 1.5 years of an amazing experience as a software engineer at Freshworks, to the place where I am now - pursuing my Masters in Computer Science at Northwestern University. 

I am hardworking, diligent and passionate about what I do. I look to take on more responsibility since it gives more scope to contribute, collaborate with others and learn at the same time.
