ABOUT ME
Senior Software Engineer @ Microsoft. Passionate about my craft.
Senior Software Engineer @ Microsoft. Passionate about my craft.

Hi! I have been working as a Software Engineer for over 7 years and I have used various technologies over the time. My expertise is in backend development using Java, C# .net. I love distributed systems, designing systems and database.

I always advocate good coding and design practices and keep learning more about them.

I like exploring everything in tech and I have explored quite a bit on ML as well. I like to build small tools, scripts that can help eliminate redundant work

Bala was great at explaining the ins and outs of code. She explained how different functions worked together in a cohesive way and presented the information to be digestible. I will likely be scheduling another session with her.

Bala is fantastic at explaining the concepts of code in a way that flows together, so that there is a clear thread of logic to follow. She explains things thoroughly, but also concisely. So you come out of the session with a deeper understanding of how everything works and connects, without overloading your brain. I will be scheduling another session with her in the near future.
