I'm a Software Engineer at TikTok (previously at Microsoft) and I've been living in the US for 12 years. I have a Master's degree from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and a Bachelor's degree from Andhra University. I grew up mostly in Visakhapatnam and Rajahmundry although my family is originally from Ongole and still lives there. I'd say my family is moderate but I'm more of a liberal (more like a rational-thinking liberal, not a democratic liberal). My parents gave me freedom to make my own choices from a young age and that made me an independent person. I'm honest, straight-forward, ambitious, hard-working and cautiously optimistic. I love to laugh, even at myself (like self-deprecating, not like a mad man), and lighten things up.

I strongly believe in lifelong learning and having a purpose in life. I like trying new things and reading books (mostly biographies, memoirs) but I'm not a bookworm. I am a fitness and endurance sports enthusiast (ran a marathon and have... more plans to do an ironman in the future). Plus, all the other colloquially cliched qualities you see in every other matrimony profile - 'adventurous', 'loves traveling', 'fun-loving', 'loves movies', 'kind-hearted', 'loves nature', 'loves family', 'loves music', etc.

I'd like to find someone who is independent and strong (I mean mentally strong, not someone who could beat me up), smart and sophisticated. Someone who can be responsible, fun and has a career of her own (preferably in the Bay Area). Someone (yes, yes, still referring to the same someone) with a positive outlook on life and who does not shy away from thinking outside the box. It does not hurt to have an infectious smile. What makes two people click can't be decided by a checklist or a fancy match-making algorithm without considering the human factor. If you feel like we either are compatible or complement each other, shoot me a message to find out!
