About

I recently graduated with a Master's degree in Computer science at California State University, Fullerton, in May 2024 where I to deepened my knowledge and skills in software engineering and artificial intelligence along with the Graduate Research position I was involved where I was researching and implementing deep learning and machine learning techniques for novel problems in healthcare and medicine under Prof. Dr. Kanika Sood. I am also a graduate of the MIT Bootcamp and the Harvard Medical School Healthcare Innovation Bootcamp, where I gained valuable insights and knowledge on how to apply design thinking, lean startup, and agile methodologies to healthcare challenges. My goal is to leverage my education and experience to pursue a career in software engineering and product development, where I can continue to create innovative and impactful healthcare products and services that can benefit the society and the environment. Additionally, I also graduated from Microsoft Professional Program in Data Science, a 12 course certifications from Coursera in 2017.I am an engineer and co-founder of Neplopers Inc., a company that provided full stack web solutions to over a dozen SMEs, NGOs, and INGOs. With over six years of experience in software engineering, web development, and entrepreneurship, I have developed a strong expertise in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing, and a passion for creating innovative and impactful products and services that can solve real-world problems and improve people's lives. As a software engineer and co-founder of Neplopers Inc., I took the lead of multiple roles, from business development to technical design and implementation. I devised scalable and user-friendly web applications that reached over 100K monthly users, and designed enterprise architecture for web applications in collaboration with two technical leads. I also brainstormed new entrepreneurial ideas focused on healthcare, and developed prototypes and MVPs for over 15 different health-related issues and chronic diseases. Additionally, I was a contributing author at C# Corner, where I researched and authored over 140 articles on various technological domains, such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, Azure, and more, which garnered over 1 million+ unique organic reads.
