From being a Computer Science graduate to a Software Engineer

My journey in the realm of software development began with choosing a Computer Science Engineering course at Pune University. I completed my bachelor's degree in 2019 and got the opportunity to work as an Embedded Software Engineer in Baxter R&D where I took my first steps into developing C/C++ software. I joined Nokia in late 2023 as a Software Engineer where I contribute to the development of 4G/5G communication software.

I develop key features in Nokia's 4G/5G based communication software.

I work as a Software Engineer at Nokia's R&D site in Budapest, Hungary. I spend my time developing key features in the 4G/5G network software, fixing bugs and solving complex problems. I enjoy working in a truly global environment and a diverse team of highly skilled individuals.

Improving my coding skills by solving complex software problems.

Over the past few years of working as a Software Engineer, I have realized that I feel highly motivated when I get the opportunity to solve complex problems. It not only enables me to gain software development experience, but also acts as a catalyst in the process of helping me improve my skills.

You tap into your full potential when you venture beyond your comfort.

From being a mere graduate to immersing myself in real software challenges in one corner of the world, and then transcending continents to make my mark in the software industry once again as a Software Engineer at Nokia, my journey over the years is not just a testament to my hard work and ambitions, but also a reminder that we are capable of achieving far beyond our initial expectations when we summon the courage to step out of our comfort zones. I firmly believe that each of us can benefit from embracing that courage from time to time, as it is often the catalyst that propels us towards new opportunities and greater heights.

Embracing the challenge of working in a completely new environment

When I joined Nokia, I found myself amidst a new team comprising individuals with diverse life experiences and perspectives. Embracing this diversity presented a challenge, but I endeavored to enhance my adaptability. Thanks to the welcoming environment fostered by my colleagues, I swiftly integrated into the team, becoming an integral part of our collective efforts.
