About

16+ years of experience as a technical leader who had been equally passionate about managing/mentoring/growing people as well as getting hands dirty with actual code. I have seamlessly flipped between the roles of technical leader and individual contributor as needed by the team. I have managed small teams, mentored junior teammates, standardized coding standards within the team, and conducted technical interviews as part of hiring drives. I constantly need to keep learning new technologies to keep myself motivated. I am a Java backend programmer, with good experience in VC# as well, and I can pick any programming language as needed. I have authored a textbook, have done proofreading for a few textbooks, and have also qualified for UGC-NET as an assistant professor. I have done my bit to enable the mission of AICTE and NPTEL to make core engineering courses available in regional languages spoken in India. I have worked as a freelance translator for AICTE and translated recorded lectures on Java programming from English to Hindi. I work as a freelance online tutor for mathematics and various CS subjects, teaching students at the senior secondary school and undergraduate levels. I also provide services as an independent software consultant and developer.
