About

README.md

I'm a software engineer who works across the whole life of a product: documentation, design, code, testing and the bug fixes after launch.

My career started on the Microsoft stack at Mayo College, Ajmer, where I built ERP, point-of-sale and automation software that connected to barcode scanners, RFID readers and biometric devices. I moved to PHP, led engineering teams at R Systems, and now work remotely as an engineer for OTTera, Inc. in Los Angeles.

I care about software that keeps running long after it ships, and about the people who use it every day.
