Education
Ever since my childhood, interactive toys interested me a lot. With the zeal to comprehend the technology behind such devices, I chose to pursue my bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Master's degree in Computer Science. I'm the first in my family to move out of the home country and travel across the oceans to quench my thirst for knowledge by choosing this career path.
