About

Standard 2, I see that Green colored turtle on the CRT screen walking to the direction I want it to. Simple, yet fascinating. Almost magic, being able to get the computer do whatever I want just by typing these little symbols, limited only by my own imagination and ingenuity. Gradually The RT/LT became simpler English like word and the turtle was now "HELLO WORLD". Mesmerized, I latched on to any ideas for projects I could get. moving on from "Hello world" all to way to a Simple Calculator. I was insatiable. This passion carried me through my education at AMC Engineering Collège(VTU), Bangalore. H, there were more resources available to me that I could imagine. I studied new languages, algorithms, compilers, higher mathematics, everything with pretty much the same fascination that drove me as a kid. It was here that I discovered the plethora that I had yet to learn. Currently, in industry the passion remains with me. There's certainly yet more to learn, more problems to solve, and yet more to build. For this, I am grateful.
