Brief Personal Background
As a kid growing up, my parents would frequently get annoyed with me as no electrical/computer gadget was safe from me. Transistor radios (can you remember what that was?), video recorders, CD players, pocket nintendo games, Sony Walkmans, calculators and my Apple IIe (I bet you can tell how old I am…..) were all taken apart by me at some point of time. In fact, at one stage, I took apart (read destroyed) calculators at the rate of one every six months.
So it was not surprising then that I jumped at the very first opportunity to join the IT & E-commerce practice group of the firm. Six years later, my area of interest has broadened to not just bits and bytes but to anything related to technology. I have been involved in not just IT and e-commerce projects but also biomedical, biotechnology, chemical, organic oil refining, oleo-chemical and telecommunications projects.
I enjoy spending time with my wife just chilling at home. In my free time (read after my wife goes to bed!), I enjoy playing Xbox games. And in case you think that I am a nerdy type, I do enjoy outdoor pursuits such as golf, running and cycling, and yes, I do like my cars!
