I started off my career as an occasional coder. Writing code excited me. Building UI's gave me the feel of a creator. I took to exploring UI a bit more seriously.
My work took me through some interesting turns and in the process, I learnt Test automation as well. Worked on building some automation frameworks in Java, Python and Ruby for a brief stint.
But my love for UI never vanished. Eventually I have now evolved into what the industry calls as a "Full stack developer".
I specialize in JavaScript, Java, Python, Ruby, HTML, CSS.
At work, I am involved in building reliability/monitoring systems. For building them I get to play with ReactJS, Angular JS, Node JS, GoLang, Java, Grafana, ELK stack, Prometheus, Bosun, OpenTSDB and many.
I have discovered a new found love for Open source and web development. I am a Selenium and Appium enthusiast and try to chime in occasionally into TestNG as well through bug fixes. Also, I've authored Cucumber Extent Reporter and TestNG Extent Reporter.
At home, when personal life gives me some free time, I work on building my own pet projects that I open source to the community.
