About Me

I am Ekta. Enthusiastic, jolly, extrovert, observant, logical, inquisitive, adaptable, photogenic, these are some words that I can use to describe myself best. I am passionate about building apps. I have a varied range of experience building Payments, eCommerce and OTT apps. I am looking for great work exposure which will provide new experiences and an opportunity to enhance my skillsets. I love photography, getting photographed(no candids!), reading, watching Netflix, shopping and dancing.
