About Me

My Journey

I started my journey as a QA, armed with nothing but curiosity to learn and determination to grow. Through stumbles and setbacks, each challenge became a stepping stone, shaping my understanding and building resilience.

Now at Speechify, I work as a Full Stack Developer across backend and frontend, and I'm increasingly building AI features and developer tools. With over 12 years in the field, I bring a rare blend of engineering rigor and product intuition to everything I ship.

Beyond Technology

Music

As a musician, I find joy in creating melodies that bridge emotions. Guitar is my primary instrument, accompanied by harmonica, keys, and backing vocals. Music has been my constant companion.

Mountaineering

Born in the the Himalayas, mountains are integral to who I am. As an avid trekker, I've explored numerous trails in the mighty mountain range, each expedition teaching me valuable lessons about perseverance, strategic planning, and the importance of maintaining composure at high altitudes - skills that translate perfectly into my professional life.
