I joined here as part of the campus placement, and started my career with supporting some of the large customer accounts for DDEORG. My key responsibility was to increase the scalability and performance of some of the legacy products, esp when deployed at very large customers. I later moved on to porting some of the legacy software from the proprietary Supermax platform to SVR4 UNIX platform.
