About

I am passionate about designing scalable, secure, and innovative tech solutions. I have 20+ years in IT, software architecture, cloud computing, and enterprise integration.

Though my day job involves mostly designing, Soultion architecture, IT landscape and Data modeling, but I love coding in my free time, it is like a therapy for me.

Electreonics is another hobby, currently I am fiddling with Raspberry Pi and Arduino boards.

I also love painting and sketching.

If you like my blogs, please drop in some comments, it will keep me motivated.
