Hi, I'm Kshitij Paliya !!
Who is Kshitij??
- Hi there, I am Kshitij Paliya, currently based in Gurugram, Haryana.
- Currently a final year BTech IT student at MIT Manipal.
- Intern @ Bain & Company (BCN), where I am getting exposure to real-world problem solving in a structured environment.
- My core interest lies in full-stack development and cloud, and that is where most of my work has been focused.
- Over time, I have built and worked on multiple projects and internships, learning more by doing than anything else.
- I usually work with technologies like Next.js, MERN Stack, AWS and other modern web tools depending on the use case.
- Outside of tech, I enjoy travelling and exploring new places whenever I get the chance. History is one another thing that I find fascinating.
