An enthusiast technology evangelist, I started out doing odd jobs under the banner of a start-up and in the same breath progressed to more divine things like completeing CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Administrator) and a MCP certifications way back in 2002.
I was awarded Microsoft Student Ambassador (now Microsoft Student Partner Program) status in recognition of good technical contribution to the user community in general.
One of the founding members and convener of the PuneITPro and MumbaiITPro which with over 800 members is India’s 2nd user group for the IT Professionals. I’ve been an active speaker across various usergroups in India and have shared a stage during various Microsoft events.
In my current role, I evangelize experiences around XBOX 360, yet-to-be-released KINECT (aka ‘Project Natal’) and “Connected Entertainment”
