ABOUT ME
I’m a hands-on developer & focus on being an individual contributor and a strategic team player. I currently work at Persistent Systems in Goa and provide my services to a major client of the company. Technologies I am currently using for the project are Ember.js, Ruby on Rails, Cucumber, Chef, Git, Jenkins
I have a very good grip on JavaScript and JS framewoks like Ember.js and apart from having a hands-on experience in CSS3 and HTML5, I love to develop simple applications and know how to deploy each one of them. I’m also very enthusiastic about developing re-usable CSS components and love the flexibility of SCSS.
To escape from the humdrum of my life, I produce sounds from my mouth to create Music (known as Beatboxing) and occasionally go out on a photoshoot to capture the beauty of the nature or to click portraits of awesome people.
