"From a centralized past to a decentralized future, I build pathways where innovation and precision converge"
Who am I?
As a pre-final year IT student at USICT, GGSIPU, I am passionate about building scalable and impactful solutions. With expertise in software engineering, blockchain, and full-stack development, I focus on creating decentralized applications that seamlessly integrate emerging technologies into real-world use cases.
My journey has been shaped by hands-on experience in numerous hackathons, where I've had the opportunity to collaborate with diverse teams, winning some and losing others, but always learning valuable lessons from each. Additionally, I've worked on several projects focused Blockchain and AI-driven systems, which have helped me refine my skills in developing robust, scalable applications. I also hold certifications in Java, Spring Microservices, and Ethereum Development (Infosys), which have further strengthened my core technical expertise and deepened my understanding of modern development practices.
I envision a future where technology shifts from centralized control to decentralized empowerment. By leveraging blockchain, AI, and distributed systems, I aim to contribute to a more secure, transparent, and efficient digital ecosystem, pushing the boundaries of innovation to shape a better future.
