== About Me ==

Hello everyone, I'm resident of Punjab(India), student of computer engineering, enjoys open source and knowledge sharing. Besides that, I believe in original ideas and original research. I like to contribute to humanity some way, so I decided to get involved in free and open software.

== My Contribution ==

 1. Recreated DebuggingTouchpadDetection.
 2. Created Xev
 3. Created Evtest
 2. Bugs Triage related to Touchpad
 3. Currently mentoring two students ahmed and stanley_robertso.
 4. Fixed some FTBFS. So I'm trying my hand out in packaging. Here are some of patches that I submitted.
  *https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kball/+bug/611867
  *https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wvstreams/+bug/602134

See my ubuntu membership ([[simar/MembershipApplication|Application]]) for more detailed work.
== Presently working ==
 1. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/simar/Touchpad
 2. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/simar/Touchpad/xev

== 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([[simar/MembershipApplication|Application]])
 *Ubuntu Contributing Developer

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