Hello! I'm Nishant Arora, from Amritsar, also known as the Golden city.
I have completed my undergraduate from SRM University (2014-2018) in B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering with an aggregate of 8.86 CGPA (on a scale of 10).
I have experience of 3 years in the IT industry. I worked with Unisys Global Services India as a DevOps and Development Engineer. Currently, I am pursuing M.Eng in Software Engineering from Concordia University, Montreal.
The fun fact is that I would be a teacher if not in the IT industry. I love sharing knowledge and, I enjoy helping every tech beginner who I come across. I am always available for technical discussions. Other than technical activities, I am fond of athletics, singing and sketching.
