Hey there, it's Rahul Sahay! I'm thrilled to be a platform specialist at Publicis Sapient, where I get to work on some exciting projects. I've been honing my skills in various aspects of the software development life cycle for more than 15 years, with a primary focus on web stack development.

As a self-proclaimed code junkie, software development is more than just a job to me; it's a passion! And I consider myself lucky to have worked with an array of cutting-edge technologies, from .NetCore to SpringBoot 3, from Angular to React, and from Azure to AWS and many more cousin technologies...
