About


Hi there! I am Ram Babu.

I am an avid programmer and Python programming enthusiast. I previously worked as an ETL Developer - Majorly worked on Informatica PowerCenter (Data Integration Tool), Oracle and Shell Scripting.

I like developing applications in Python 3 - from writing Automation Scripts to Web development using Django and Flask frameworks. I often solve problems on online coding platforms like HackerRank, Codechef, LeetCode, etc., to enhance my problem solving abilities. I am also a frequent contributor on StackOverflow, the largest programmer question and answer forum on the web.
