Technology
The short story – I’m a programmer. I work as a sr engineer here. Before that I worked, traveled, consulted in three different countries, primarily working in web & enterprise java/jee technologies.
The long story.
I would be lying if I said, I always wanted to be a programmer or was fascinated with computers. The truth is, I only laid my hands on computers in the eight grade on a _very_well_known_software_ called lotus-1-2-3. I got a 100 in it, but that’s because my teacher thought I was cute. I got my first email on yahoo in the summer of 1998. Engineering didn’t happen by accident nor it was my destiny but because, there wasn’t much choice, coming from a family of doctors and engineers. Sometimes, we aren’t really fortunate enough to do what we really want to do all the time, and when the right time kicks in — it’s a little too late. I regret screwing up IIT, but its ok. You learn from mistakes.
After 5 years of working as a programmer and some of the fancy titles that were designated to me from a supposedly big service company, I decided to free myself in the fall of 2006, from the corporate-ladder climbing-game, to work as a consultant, concentrating more on core programming and technology. Consulting was good, for a while but decided to settle in. And then I joined Cramer. It’s a great place to work for!
