About Me:

I am from India, the land of engineers! I went to a good school there called IIT (Indian Institute of Technology), but spent most of my time organizing trips to the forests to see tigers and ride elephants. I got into the environmental movement and was president of the Nature and Wildlife Society in my University.

Then, in a U turn contradiction, I accepted a job to work for an Oil Field company in Kuwait. I loved the travel, but the contradiction was too much for me and I quit.

That was the time dot com era was booming. I joined a startup at Sunnyvale as Product manager, mostly translating geek talk for the sales team and communicating.

Then the dot com bust happened and along with thousands of others, I was laid off.

I took the opportunity to do something completely different and expand my horizons.. I ended up studying the Great Books program at Santa Fe, NM and got my M.A. in liberal Arts.

That's where I met my wife who brought me to Hawaii where I have been living for about 6 years.

I have done several jobs, mostly drafting with AUTOCAD and project management and even driving a TAXI.

I would like to join a tech company where creative talents are valued as much as technical and management skills and do something cool and awesome.

Peace, and hope to make many friends here!
