About me
I have a passion for building and solving problems, which was first sparked when I encountered computers and played games. My education at IIIT Delhi further ignited this passion as I saw the potential for programming to solve real-world problems. I have been driven to excel in every company I have been a part of and I have a love for building products and finding solutions through coding at scale.
- I always had passion for building stuff, I was always an engineer, Always tried to solve problem myself, as far as I can remember from my early days
- Excited when I first saw computers, used to play games, learned paint, logo, typing
- Then the formal education killed it.
- But then IIIT Delhi again sparked that passion where I saw that this programs really solved problems.
- And also I excel at every place I am put, In IIITD, I was like in the bottom of pyramid and I needed to come to top, so I worked very hard there and tried to excel
- Same with Zenatix, and same with every company I have ever been. I try to reach at top
- Then there was no going back from there
- From there onwards I loved building products and solving real world problems
- Best and easiest way currently is to code@scale

User Manual
Things I like
- Be direct to me about anything, if you don't like about me anything, I would be very happy to improve on it whatever it may be. I don't hold grudges and will not take it negatively.
- I am a rational person, so I want reason for doing something that is asked, so I know the reason behind the work, and maybe can help to improve it. (so if you want to change something in my work, my routine, or my code, there must be a rationality behind the same), and if you are right I will accept it and will change it no matter how hard it is.
Things I hate
- People shouting (speaking loud) in meetings (you should speak swiftly, be civilized, no matter how absurd the other person sound, you should speak swiftly)
- I don't like going to marriages (be very subtle about it)
- I don't like sharing my things until it's something health related
- Don't give me any suprise above a monetary value of 1000 rs. I don't like surprises. I don't want to waste your money and feel bad for not using it. Earth is on the brink of collapse because of consumerism
- I don't respond well to threats, and pressure
Things I do
- I cannot turn a blind eye towards something wrong or something that can be improved, like seeing a code snippet that can be improved and doesn't relate to something I am working, and just let it alone. I will go lengths like to other teams, to make it right. And I will take ownership and follow up and see it done.
Things I admire
- Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.

Strengths
Yale professor Laurie Santo says: “The best way to figure out your signature strengths, honestly, is just to look at a big list of the 24 character strengths. Read through them and see which ones kind of pop out for you.If you wanna do it a little bit more systematically, there's a fantastic survey that you can take, a much more well-validated psychometric survey, on the VIA Character Strengths website. You can kind of go through and answer these questions, and it will (rank) a list of your 24 strengths in the order that they resonate for you. So you can do it the more systematic way, or you can do it the quick and dirty way.”
What matters is
- discovering your character strengths and
- engaging them in every facet of your life to improve your sense of meaning, happiness, and even your performance at work (a nice side effect of character strength engagement is that it’s often a path to more money).
