About

I saw a computer for the first time in 1999. It was quite fascinating that you can interact more with a screen. You can write your name, use a brush to paint your home. The computer was in our School and 5 kids used to share one big bulky computer. We had to remove our shoes to go to that room. The first programming language I used was FoxPro. I don't remember what they were teaching on FoxPro to a 9-year-old kid but I vaguely remember that We used to do summations. I also learned C++ but a little bit in 2 years of computer lab classes. Those two years made me more enthusiastic to come back try new things playing games etc. When we got Compaq desktop on 4 August 2004 I used to spend most of my time on the computer. I learned to install the OS and was able to make some pocket money. This passion carried me through my education in Computer Science. Today I am an innovative technology enthusiast in product & engineering with a sharp focus on making services available for billions, systems architecture, reliability with extensive experience in designing solutions for multiple products worked in recent years. There's certainly yet more to learn, yet more problems to solve, and yet more to build. And for this, I am grateful.
