Hi! I love calling myself a multi-faceted software developer :man_technologist: mainly because I have worked on so many tools and technologies :hammer_and_wrench:. I am a quick learner and have ability to learn on the go which is demonstrated in several projects that I have handled so far. Currently I am involved in integrating Qualys products with various SIEM, CMDB, and CI/CD systems to meet the security requirements.
