What Drives Me

I am driven by the transformative power of technology and its ability to solve real-world problems. My journey in software development started with a simple idea: "Build Something Useful."

I am an experienced software developer and has the knowledge of both "creating products from scratch till top" and "making the product scalable and functional". I am a contributor to some well known projects such as AppFlowy (Notion Alternative), Microsoft Copilotkit, GoFr, Daytona), Palisadoes Foundation, Zulip etc. Also I am experienced with state managements and other crucial things such as documentation reading and creating as well as product testing. I can integrate features at a fast pace and can provide error free and clean code. As a person who enjoys developing products for the community I think I am a valuable asset who is ready to be hired for production level projects.
