About me
I graduated as a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from India, worked for couple of years as a Dentist before switching to tech industry. I made a career transition in tech 2 years back, firstly by landing an internship at a startup and later getting hired as a full-time employee at a reputed company in Berlin, Germany.
I've learned web development through online resources on sites like Udemy, Traversy media courses on YouTube, coding problems on freeCodeCamp, hackerrank, codewars, codecademy, and articles on Medium, dev.to, or any pages that were on top in Google search result.
Programming was a great career choice for me since I was always fascinated by digital space and also the industry gives me flexibility to get a job in any city or country.
I’ve been working at AUTO1 Group - Europe's leading digital automotive platform since January 2019 as a Frontend Developer.
