**In Mumbai/Pune till mid February 2023**
Hello there!
I was born and brought up in India and came to the US for my education (Masters) and now the job.
I am a warm, honest, caring and eternally optimistic person who likes to spend time with family and friends and have a cheerful outlook towards life. I love traveling, meeting new people, exploring new cities, cultures and cuisines. I enjoy playing sports such as badminton, soccer, tennis, and also hike often, so try to be regular at it. I've always been a sporty person since a kid and have loved playing different types of sports since then.
Cooking is something that I truly love and enjoy doing as it lets me explore my creative side and being a big time foodie, also try out new dishes whenever I get the chance but still an Amateur one!
In my free time, I enjoy binge watching - movies/series, exploring new cafes and restaurants, playing sports and generally hangout
... more with friends or some board games night and sometimes reading novels - by far the best one I liked is Trevor Noah's memoir.
I have studied Information Systems in Big Data Analytics and Management (MS), from Georgia State University in Atlanta, US and Computer Science (BE), from University of Pune in India. I worked for decent amount of years in Pune, before I decided to move to US for my Masters. Post my Masters, I've been employed with Amazon (in Seattle, WA) and currently hold the position of a Senior Data Engineer, which I truly enjoy working in such a challenging environment and space. For those who're curious - I'm currently on H1B visa and Green Card (GC) is in process (I-140 Approved).
 My family is academically inclined and is very close knit, with values instilled from my grand parents, are what I care so much about because they have made me what I am today, My father works as an mentor and an operations advisor in Reliance Industries (even though he retired in 2018) and my mother is a language teacher with her proficiency is Hindi and Marathi (she retired last May in 2020 from J.H Ambani Reliance school). I have a younger sister (my lifeline) who worked in tech as a software engineer (she is also a fashion influencer, singer, classical dancer), is currently pursuing her Masters in US.
I am looking for someone who is grounded, positive, energetic, who lives life to its fullest, and spreads happiness. She should be more of a friend, kind, compassionate, understanding and has an enthusiasm for life so that we can have fun together. I would prefer for a working or an ambitious partner who wants to pursue her future career ambitions / dreams. I do not have location constraints as such, but looking for someone who live in (or plan to move to) the continental US because I am currently here and plan on being here for a while!
