Hi Pawan, don't use the third person in your CV, actually don't use the third person if you're writing about yourself :D

Instead of "thrives etc etc" write "I thrive in an environment that constantly embraces new technologies". It's also a double edged sentence to be honest, because although I perfectly understand what you mean (you like challenges and constant learning) you might also put off someone working at a large company that has an established stack (which is perfectly fine if you're not interested in working in such a company in the first place). Think about it, you're the only one that can know this.

"I am artistically inclined and creative person." -> "and a creative person"
"to drive my career as Product/Solution Architect" -> "as a product..."
"MongoDb" -> "MongoDB"
"Ruby Metaprogramming JavaScript" -> "Ruby metaprogramming, JavaScript"

What's OOPS? I say it because I don't know what it is and if I receive a CV like this I'm definitely going to ask you.

Keep the date range consistent, I know it's little stupid things but not having them is better. So don't mix "Aug 2018 - present" with "Aug 2017 To Aug 2018" with "Dec-2016 To july 2017" with "OCT-2015 To MAY-2016". If you notice they are 4 different ways to specify a date range. Choose one and stick to it. My favorite is "Aug 2017 - Aug 2018"

Make links clickable, if you put links in a CV I should be able to click and open the website.

In the personal information I would give you the same advice as the one I gave you about the intro: no third person.

Hope this helps
