Delivering ingenious solutions to complex business problems is what I do best. Innovation and technology excites me the most. I work on wood working projects or paintings to scratch my creative itch as a hobby.

My first industry experience was at a startup called ConfirmTkt where I worked on a train ticketing app which has over 10 million downloads on playStore. A small team making big things was an exhilarating  experience.
At Lam Research,  I have worked on semiconductor manufacturing equipment for about 3 years. I learnt to be diligent and detailed with my work given the need for precision and accuracy when working in the semiconductor industry.
