Self Appraisal

I am passionate about using computers as a new medium of communication and continue to explore its unlimited potential. I started with assembly programming on 8085 Microprocessor (PC) training boards and now have worked on powerful platforms including Mainframes, RS6000 etc.

 

Honest confession … I still haven’t used a MAC. My philosophy towards IT and life in general has always been 'Learning by Doing'. It is because of this philosophy that my design/development sense and logic is strong. My hands on, jack of all ( yes! I can’t claim to be Master of any, as the industry if ever changing) nature, has helped me to be a invaluable team asset.

 

My ability to work independently and collaboratively in a mixed environment of designers, software engineers and marketing personnel while having excellent personal relations with them has always worked to my advantage.
