I believe it is vital to implement the theory that you learn in classes to solve real-life problems and I also get excited by seeing what different problems can be put on your plate. I believe my wide spectrum of technical skillset partnered with my experience to communicate with clients would make me a great addition to any team. I am very passionate about the work I am assigned I also strongly believe in the significance of cross-skilling and upskilling as per the business needs of the organization

Projects
"It's not the ideas; it's design, implementation and hard work that make the difference." - Michael Abrash
LATS
Live Assistance and Tracking System
IDEA
Current socio-economic situations around the world have seen a drastic rise in crime rate all over the world, which proves difficult to control for any type of authorities and most of the resources are wasted on crimes which have been already committed. The emphasis of our system is to stop the crime before it is even anticipated ensuring safety of a loved individual and also saving the extra resources the authorities may encounter. Our system proposes an immediate live assistance in case of an emergency by special armed task force designed to encounter dangerous situations and kill the crimem in the cradle.
Accomplishment
- A system that establish contact between the victim and the automatically determined nearest police resource with calling or texting them through a small device
- Ensures there is no misues by handling the impatient/panicked behaviour of the victim
- Enable the police help to be reached in minimum time to the victim through stacking the location of moving victim
