1:1 Mentorship
There is no better way to connect than to meet one-on-one. This one is even more effective when done in person with a glass of tea!
Content Creation
Creating content has been my bread and butter since my college days. I'm very much used to it now, and I create across different platforms!
Tools & Automation Script
I build automation scripts and use different tools to make my life easier, which also helps me save time and spend quality time with my family. I can help you build such tools.
Awareness is Everything
You are capable of doing anything you wish for. All you need is to be aware. I'm currently working on bringing awareness to students about the tools and technologies I'm familiar with.

I also collaborate with my team to create products that address your use cases and technical requirements.
