Let me start off with my birthplace. It's a Hill station in Saudi Arabia called Abha (Its hyperlinked for people who find it hard to believe about a hill station in Saudi Arabia). I lived there my entire childhood before I moved to Chennai, India in 2002. Living in Abha was fun. We lived in the Hospital campus, which was built with American standards and European decor. I had to move out of the city in spite of loving it there because the school board in my region would not teach beyond 8th class.

While I stayed in Saudi Arabia, I visited India every year for Christmas and stayed with my grandparents in Cape Comorin for my vacation. But that experience was not sufficient to take on Chennai. The first year was a little hard, but the following year a guy from Dubai joined me. We turned out to be best friends. The rollercoaster ride of my life started. School was fun, I had awesome friends. I maintain exceptional long distance relationship with each and every one of them. Lets not forget my next-door friends too, still going strong.

Undergrad was little rough, but I made it through. This is the period where I had developed immense interest towards computer networking, adding to my other interests that included Automobiles (Cars and Bikes mostly, and I used to sketch designs while in school), computers, sketching and watched cartoons. Many times I feel my love for The Matrix Trilogy came in from my love for Johnny Quest. Though I liked computers and things in and around it, I never seemed to like programming. I tried every work around possible.

Right out of college I started to work as a Technical support engineer for Vonage from Chennai. With the experience that I gained, I am able to talk to any kind of person. Additionally I got to work under some of the best Teams and Team Leads. While it had been less than 12 months since I had hit the floor, I had multiple chances to manage our team. It was a team effort to keep the daily metrics within the limits. And at the End of the Day, I had to run and submit the various reports of the team to the Team Manager. I also had the opportunity to provide hands-on training for the new hires regarding to the tools and technical troubleshooting. Every day at work was a new and different day.

The Time for me to gain additional knowledge had arrived. I quit exactly after 25 months of work experience. I had 6 months buffer period before Grad school started, and in the meanwhile I bolstered my knowledge with computer networks by becoming CCNA certified. It was time for me to bid adieu to Madras and say "Hi" to 'The Big Apple' by Q4 of 2012.

Grad school was really good and fun. Moreover it was my first time outside home, all by myself. Met and became friends with lots of different personalities, and lots of experience necessary for the rest of my roller coaster ride. I have always wanted to build my own startup. When I was a kid, it was an automobile manufacturing company (would still love to), and now its any sort of startup. I was very happy to have a fraction (probably in the tenths or the hundredths) of the similar startup experience, as a final project for the "Technology Entrepreneurship" class.

If u ask me what I am currently doing, I currently work for Qualcomm as a Field engineer testing the upcoming Snapdragon Chipsets and Gobi modems on commercially deployed infrastructures on various service provider. Apart from that I am updating myself with the upcoming wireless technologies (5G, just the proposals are very exciting), learning to script with Qualcomm's tools and Perl to develop scripts intended to reduce human time on such tasks while reducing human error, also working towards creating my own android app (The Play Store link will land up here soon).If you have any feedback on my webpage, I would definitely love to hear them.

Finally some words as a Human, lets save Earth and be more humane to the rest of the species on Earth.
