Hello there! I'm working as a Software test engineer for Dell R&D Center.

Before joining Dell, i worked for Unisys global services, Emulex corporation which was later acquired by Avago technologies (Now Broadcom limited) and Wipro technologies ltd. and was lucky enough to work with amazing clients Hewlett Packard and Cisco Systems Inc.

I'm truly passionate about my work. While i enjoy all aspects of my job, i think my favorite stage of a project is discovering critical software defects. As i go through the debugging process, ideas start to flow and that's always the fun part.
