What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and allow me to grow in AI and mobile development.

I am a dedicated software developer with a strong background in mobile application development and artificial intelligence. Currently, I am a Senior Software Developer at Tezda Ltd. in London, where I have successfully developed Video Editing SDKs and applications that enhance user engagement through innovative features like reels and chat functionalities. My experience includes building E-Commerce platforms and video/voice calling applications using LiveKit, showcasing my ability to integrate complex systems seamlessly.

Prior to my current role, I worked as a freelancer where I developed various applications, including a Food Ordering System and an Event Management Application. My academic background includes a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science Engineering from VIIT, Pune, and I am currently pursuing a Master of Technology in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at IIT, Jammu. I am passionate about clean code, scalability, and continuous learning, which I believe are essential for delivering high-quality software solutions.
