Education

Academic Background & Qualifications

Master of Information Technology and Management

Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, USA

1.9 years[Jan, 2023 - Dec, 2024]

Pursuing this Master's program gave me the opportunity to dive deeper into the fundamentals of software development that I'd been working with for years. While I had hands-on experience building applications, the program helped me understand the "why" behind the technologies and methodologies I was using—turning intuitive choices into informed decisions. The coursework covered the complete software development lifecycle, from system design and architecture to deployment using modern technologies. I worked on projects involving full-stack development with React, Node.js, NoSQL, and AWS, which reinforced my practical skills while giving me a broader perspective on scalable system design. What I valued most was gaining that deeper understanding of why certain tech stacks work better for specific problems, rather than just knowing how to implement them.

Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering

Kurukshetra University, Haryana, INDIA

3.8 years[Aug, 2015 - Jun, 2019]

This is where my technical foundation truly began. My B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering gave me a comprehensive understanding of fundamental programming concepts and the core aspects of computer science. The curriculum covered essential areas including web development, data structures and algorithms, cloud computing, and microprocessors. I gained hands-on experience with programming languages like Java, JavaScript, Python, SQL, and HTML/CSS. This degree shaped my analytical thinking and provided the solid technical foundation that continues to drive my problem-solving approach in my professional work today.
