About

I'm currently a final year student at Vellore Institute of Technology pursuing a degree in Computer Science with Specialization in Information Security.
I've always believed in never turning down a chance to learn something new and that has given me various opportunities to learn and work in the field of data analytics, web development, AI and technical content writing. Apart from academics I'm also an avid reader, orator and an occasional blogger. You can check out my book reviews on Goodreads and I’d love it if you drop by my personal blog too!
