My professional career brings memories from my childhood experience where I always used to wonder how this telephone thing works, where I always played around pressing random keys and hearing different tones. I feel lucky to convert those passions into reality by fulfilling various roles in my seven years in the telecommunication industry.

With the background of Java, I was able to build Webrtc end-to-end automation framework with the help of selenium. Hands-on experience in performance testing tools such as Spectra, Ixia and Exfo.
