Areas of Interests

Almost all development work(in computers) that I think is upto my potential. I'm most interested in hardware related programming, IP programming (networks) and security.

I have quite a good knowledge of C and c++ and is coding for AVR and motorola related microcontrollers. I can code well in .NET framework which is of no use here though .. I'm working forward to learn atleast one high level cross-platform language like python with a lot of API available, so I can have a substitute of .net here. I have also tried my hand in symbian and have successfully created some symbian S60 applications.

Projects I am interested and working on

Other than Ubuntu I would like to contribute to linux and security area.

Future Plans

• Ubuntu Bug Control Team Membership - Done (a particular thanks to Sense for that )

• Ubuntu Membership(Application)

• Ubuntu Contributing Developer

My life goal is to become a good personality and contribute to society in the field of technology ...
