About Karteek

I am a Graduate in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Arlington currently working for Capital One Financial Corporation in Plano, Texas. I love creating things and have immense passion for problem solving, I strive on being a developer who bridges the gap between engineering and design and not easily convinced the User Experience will hit the mark! My particular interests lie in Software Engineering, Cloud Computing and Client-facing Web Development.
In my free time I like to play video games (not a huge fan of AAAs though, except a fair few).
I also enjoy cooking or watching Combat Sports, Soccer and Football. Particularly, my Dallas Cowboys.
