Archit's Little Corner On The Interwebs 🌏

About Me

I am passionate about building things which solve complex, modern problems using software automation and technology. I love to collaborate, mentor and work in a team and am fortunate that these values form the cornerstone of my profession.

I excel at automation, developing scalable and secure solutions using modern technology stacks. I believe Cloud computing is the future of software development and have hence spent hours honing my skills in this field.

Outside work, I love to teach, travel, play and listen to music, and go on weekend-long hikes with friends
