Software Engineering
My career has spanned across several domains over the years. I taught myself to code, built several passion projects which are used by thousands even to this day. This is a showcase of my software engineering and solution architecture work.
DAS Investment
"I have had the pleasure of working with Sajain as part of the Ventures team and am happy to recommend him. He is one of the hardest working and most diligent individuals I have had the benefit of working alongside.
Sajain has been able to quickly adapt to the Ventures team, tackle complex and ambiguous problems while adding significant value through his work. He has completed in depth market scans and research, drafted investment committee submissions, assisted on due diligence and constructed commercial agreements and MoUs on our behalf.
Along with all of that, he is one of the nicest people to work with and seems to get along with everyone that he meets.As such, I am happy to recommend him for anything that he pursues."
