​As a co-op, while still completing my Masters degree, I was working as a functional verification tester for the IBM's Jazz Continuous Lifecyle Management (CLM) product. I ran AppScan, an vulnerability assessment tool, on CLM's web client, and filed defects by categorizing and verifying the cross side scripting and other possible threats that AppScan found during its assessment I also completed several build verification tests during the four milestone period I was a part of that team. I helped my team member with running of some validation scripts on the platforms supported by our product and ran the test execution records that were assigned on a daily basis.

Education​
​Initially enrolled as student of Master of Computer Networking, I gradually shifted my focus to a more generic field of Computer Science giving equal impetus to gaining skills across different level of programming like system, application and network level by completing courses like operating systems, computer networks, algorithms and network security to name a few.

During my completion of my Masters at NC State University, I worked at Students Disability Services Office, where, as a academic assistant, I helped disabled students, by taking their notes during their lectures and also helping them write their exams ensuring they completing it in the allotted time.
