I enjoy programming and developing applications. Majority of my recent projects are centered around data analytics, algorithms, mobile, information retrieval, and databases.

During my internship at Zya Music, I worked on C# and Xamarin. At Scheneider Electric, I had the opportunity to work on some of the cutting edge SaaS based technologies such as Objective-C, Salesforce.com, Force.com, and Cordova.
