cooking , Travelling, playing cricket and listening to music

I’m passionate about a few things that really spice up my life. Cooking is like an adventure for me—I love experimenting with new recipes and flavors to create delicious, memorable meals. Traveling fuels my curiosity; I enjoy exploring new places, diving into different cultures, and collecting unique experiences along the way. Cricket is my go-to for staying active and competitive; there's nothing like the thrill of a well-played match. And when it comes to unwinding, music is my sanctuary—I find joy in discovering new artists and losing myself in melodies that resonate with my mood. Each of these interests brings a unique joy to my life, keeping me energized and inspired.

Project Management Tools Proficiency: Familiarity with tools like Workfront, Jira, Miro, Trello.

I’m well-versed in a variety of project management tools that streamline workflows and enhance team collaboration. I use Workfront for its robust project tracking and resource management capabilities. With Jira, I efficiently handle agile project management and track issues. Miro helps me facilitate brainstorming and planning sessions with its dynamic whiteboarding features. And for straightforward task management and organization, Trello is my go-to tool. My experience with these platforms enables me to manage projects effectively and adapt to various team needs.
