About

I consider myself to be an engineer first, developer second; i.e, my goal is to solve problems and technology is one of the tools I utilize to solve them. Over the past years I have learnt that communication is a critical process and one of the strongest tools to solve or completely eliminate problems. As engineers we tend to dive into solving for what we think is a technical challenge but could very well be a non-problem that gets resolved by communication. Knowledge of the business domain is one of the strongest ways to build the right solution. Your users define the success of your product and at times an okay product which users love to use is better than an excellent product which no one likes.
