MY AIM IN LIFE

Dreams come true only if you dare!

I am a self-motivated individual who truly loves to work in a challenging field where novel ideas, algorithms, and effective plannings are crucial. Thus, a company would get the proper blueprint aligned with technological trends. I feel more enthusiastic working as a teaching faculty in academia.
