Academic Profile

I’m figuring things out — slowly, curiously, and mostly by building stuff and breaking it until something clicks.

Education

• University of Zurich (2025–present)
  MSc in Informatics
• Pune Institute of Computer Technology (2019–2023)
  B.E. in Computer Engineering (CGPA: 9.53/10 | CGPA: 5.84/6)
  Arguably the best place in Pune to study CS — competitive, high bar, and it pushed me.
• MIT Junior College (2017–2019)
  HSC (Score: 85.85%)
  Navigated new subjects in English for the first time- Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Electronics, got 99.60 percentile in MHT-CET and landed in PICT.
• Akshar Nandan School (2005–2017)
  SSC (Score: 91.00%)
  A unique Marathi-medium school where curiosity was part of the culture — it shaped how I learn.

Work Experience

• Druva - Software Engineer (2023-2025)
  Developed two microservices in Golang and shipped them ( AWS Lambda,EC2 ) as part of the Threat Hunt feature, and owned the design, testing, and deployment. No QA. You break it, you fix it.
• HyperSegment Automation - Python developer Intern (Jan–Mar 2021)
  Built a trading system in Python using Zerodha’s APIs — first exposure to real-world code, bugs, and the joy of watching automation actually work.
