About Me !
I am a native of Sagar, a small town in Shimoga district in Karnataka (India). I did most of my schooling in Bangalore before shifting over to Sagar for my high school. I finished engineering from RVCE, Bangalore in the year 2000, Computer Science and Engineering being my department.
I joint SCT Software Solutions (then called Exeter Systems) in the year 2000 and worked with them till March 2004. I started working on Oracle and then soon shifted over to Microsoft technologies. I had been working on Windows DNA until late 2002, the time I started off with .NET. Well, this was a start of an everlasting craze and there has been no looking back since. My Blog and web site are a result of just that. In 2004, I joint Proteans Software Solutions, where I worked for a year, before joining Cognizant Technology Solutions.
My interests include listening to music, watching motor sports (especially F1 and Moto GP) and last but not the least - blogging. I am a die hard fan of Michael Schumacher and Valentino Rossi. My non-technical musings can be seen here.
Professional Achievements
I have completed MCSA (Win 2K), MCAD, MCSD (VB 6), MCDBA (SQL Server 2000) and MCTS (Distributed Applications). Microsoft awarded me MVP (.NET) in June 2003, and I am currently an MVP for Connected Systems.
