Computer Science and Programming are the two biggest passions of my life. I believe coding is an art. Anyone can draw and sketch, but few can create the likes of Monalisa. I am a novice at it, but my ever growing love for it makes me believe that one day I will be an artist.
Optimism, one would agree is onething I have in surplus. Hehe, :D.

As a Computer Scientist with Adobe Systems, Noida, I work on a great peice of software called Adobe Connect. Adobe® Acrobat® Connect™ is the next generation of web conferencing software that enables professionals to instantly communicate and collaborate through easy-to-use, easy-to-access online personal meeting rooms. A new addition to the Acrobat Family, Acrobat Connect breaks down the technology barriers of traditional web conferencing by providing real-world, interactive online personal meeting rooms to business professionals.

Prior to joining Adobe, I was working with Samsung India Software Operations, Bangalore. My work role there was to develop device drivers and board support packages for ARM based PDA chipsets manufactured by Samsung. It was quite an interesting stint banging head on creating the first piece of software to run on state of the art hardware chipsets.

I did my education from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. It is more than a college to me. Having pursued a Dual Degree in Computer Science and Engineering, I have always aspired to do things which can make my alma-mater feel proud of me.

In my free time, I love to develop exciting software for Mobile Phones. BluXone is the first product that came out of my hobbyist development activity.

BluXone is a networking application for Series 60 based mobile phones. It works as a P2P client over Bluetooth. It enables users to seamlessly share content on their phones for others to view/download. Other functionalities of BluXone are BlueCasting to other BluXone clients and Instant Messaging over bluetooth.
