I practice domain-driven design techniques to develop applications that are cleaner, extensible, and be able to evolve as requirements unfold. And have a pragmatic approach towards software development; thereby handling both functional, and non-functional requirements.

I have experience in using various open-source software and tools to our advantage in building software. And also have contributed to open source projects.
