ABOUT ME
I was born when I was very young. I don't remember it but I was born in India in a city called Anand. I grew up in Surat though, where I got spoiled with an amazing culture and even better food which shaped my worldview and my tastebuds.
I then was brought to Chicago where I saw snow for the first time and found out what living in the land of the free was like. It was basically like living in India because we have freedom there too, but the culture was very different. I have now grown along with the two different cultures which give me a unique perspective seen in my work.

Currently working as a Cloud Support Associate on the Containers Team, I directly support customers with the issues that they are facing while using the AWS services. This better educates my knowledge of these services as I get the opportunity to troubleshoot them almost everyday while helping others to the best of my abilities.
