About I feel empowered and driven by self-improvement through learning new skills and solving problems. I chose Computer Science and Software Development because it enables me to potentially contribute to any professional/research field. I strive to understand the ‘Whys’ of problems so that the ‘Hows’ become simpler. As a fresh post graduate, I wish to aggressively dive into gaining real world Software Development experience. Work auth. & Visa status: OPT-EAD (F1-Student visa).
