I am a Computer Science Graduate from the University of Southern California(USC). I graduated on May 13, 2011 and currently working full-time as a Software Engineer at MINDJOLT. I did my Bachelors in Computer Engineering from University of Pune in western India. I was born and schooled in Jamshedpur, a planned industrial city in East India. Having worked on a variety of domains my areas of expertise spans from OS/Computer Networks(using C/C++, core JAVA) to Web Technologies(using ASP.NET/C#, Coldfusion, Django/Python)
"I write a bunch of code that somehow turns into magical web applications"
- I am currently a Software Engineer at MINDJOLT building their Facebook based apps in Python and making RESTful services using Jersey! Scaling the app to over 10,000,000 users is a never-ending fun and the sheer adrenalin rush of affecting such a big audience by my work drives my hunger for perfection...
- Previously I was an ASP.NET programmer intern with Civic Resource Group writing their code behinds in C#. I worked on media migration for the entire Wyoming Tourism website i.e converting all multimedia(image, video etc) blobs into physical files and transferring them to a different server. Then, I worked on replacing all the flash player based applications into JQuery based applications.
"Mind is like a multithreaded application, you've got to set the locks right!"
- At grad school my courses have been a combination of OS/Computer Networks. My projects involved modifying OS's and making transmission protocols! This helped me get a thorough understanding of Computer fundamentals and how 'things' work.
