I am born and brought up in
this city "Bangalore". And
I love Bangalore. I did my graduation B.Sc in Computer Science from
National
College, Jayanagar.
Was eager to work so joined a Silk Exports
Company http://www.mulberrysilksltd.com.
It
was a very good experience, learnt lot of new things.Got to know how
different
life is when you get responsible compared to the carefree student
life.
After working for an year or so, I planned
do my post
graduation. So got into IGNOU to do Masters in Computer Application. At
the same
time entered a new world...World of NGOs! Started working for Public
Affairs
Centre (PAC) http://www.pacindia.org/
for
a project called "Children's Movement for Civic Awareness(CMCA)" http://cmcaindia.org. Working at
PAC,with CMCA
changed my personality itself. It was great working with CMCA and whole
lot of
children to make Bangalore a better place to live
in!
Then I completed my MCA, wanting to get the
feel
of much talked about IT industry. Met an interesting person on a trek -
"Dr.
T.B. Dinesh" and got to know about Servelots. So got in touch with him
and
joined Servelots on March 8th 2004. Was very comfortable since
Servelots was
also catering to NGOs and SMEs. It was a great learning experience at
Servelots.
Was exposed to lot of things... Development, Testing, Client
Interaction,
Training and Support to clients, Discussions on new features for
PANTOTO and
many more.
PANTOTO...has a whole lot of cool features
and its so
flexible. Dinesh's words and some readings at Servelots keeps ringing
in my
mind. Pantoto should break the end user's dependency on the developer.
End user
should be able to do a whole lot of things on his / her own with a
little
training. Way to go!
Currently am working
at CTS,
Bangalore http://www.cognizant.com .
But
can never forget my days at Servelots and company of the team at
Servelots.
It was real fun! Miss them all :(
My hobbies and interests lies in
lot of adventure, sports, music, art.... Have been on some treks(not
major ones
though) to Brahmagiri, Kudremukh, Chunchi Falls, Kunti Betta,
Huliyurdurga,
Savandurga..... Have done some stain glass paintings, solo wood work,
charcoal
painting ..... Love playing cricket, throwball, volley ball,
shuttle.... Like
listening to music...which gives me company most of the time when i am
travelling, work at home ....
Want to do many more things...like
parasailing, river rafting, pottery, more treks(to himalayas some day)
and the
list goes on..
