Constantly striving to build better software with focus on security kept throughout the lifecycle and not just as an after-thought. Considers myself to be a perfectionist yet remains practical, knowing where to draw the line and stop.
Polyglot to humans and machines. Linux of Things. Converts chai to code. Privacy advocate. Travel freak & adventure seeker. Apolitical but opiniated. Spiritiual but not very religious. Curious about life & extra-terrestrial. Foodie with a sweet tooth. In it to win it.

Reflections...
Life and learning begins outside your comfort zone. Chase dreams only after you've saved enough to pay your rent. Be only with people who are there to SWEAT and not for the SWAG. Never forget the ones who helped you in difficult times and the ones who put you in difficult times.
