He has also appeared in several informational films with social messages that have been shown at inter-college events.
After college, he worked as a Software Engineer for Advansoft International Ltd, a multinational corporation with offices in India and the United States. He realized that a master's degree would help him advance in his career after gaining valuable (industry) experience.
Thus, to pursue a Master's Degree in Computer Engineering, he relocated to the United States and graduated from the University of Houston-Clear Lake with a 3.69 GPA.
