A software developer is a transformer who can transform ideas into apps by writing code. I am a Senior Software Engineer from India and want to make this world a better place by leveraging technology. I like to write clean, testable code that adheres to SOLID and functional programming principles.

Like good food and exercise can make healthy body and mind, best practices and pragmatic approach to programming can make healthy apps. - a quote by me
