I’m a software engineer who’s had opportunities to work in a diverse set of domains during my university stretch.. objectively amounting to ~10 internships.

With a passion to solve real-world problems through technology, I have experience in implementing, optimizing and maintaining scalable backend applications.

My personal projects apply technologies including core CS academia, design patterns, into realtime utilities, and are open-sourced.

I find Open Source community truly amazing, some of my major contributions:

• Matplotlib
• CuPy
• NumPy
• Pitivi
• OpenCV
