About Mehul Shetty

I have completed my B.E. degree in Computer Science & Technology (Mumbai University) and I have over 16 years of total work experience. I have worked as a Technical Support Executive for Earthlink - one of the leading Internet Service Providers in the USA. Later, I joined Packt Publishing Pvt. Ltd. (UK-based IT book publishing firm) as a Technical Coordinator in October 2008. AS a Technical Coordinator I was in charge of copy editing the chapters of the book and also testing the code. Within a year, I was promoted to the position of a Development Editor. As a Development Editor I had to research on various Open Source technologies and come up with book ideas. I also had to contract authors and reviewers for the book and coordinate the entire project successfully till the book has been published. I also have the experience of developing a dynamic website for an Australian client in Joomla! (www.ozbizzle.com). After coming back to India, I joined LionBridge Technologies, Inc as a Senior Information Engineer/Senior Technical Writer. I was posted on-site at Hewlett-Packard (Bangalore) and I was appointed to work for on an HP enterprise software product named HP Client Automation. I then joined iGATE Patni as a Senior Technical Writer. For better growth prospectus I had to switch jobs and I am currently working for NEC Software Solutions as Documentation Manager. I manage a team of highly skilled Technical Authors and Trainer, while also developing Online Helps and Training Manuals for a major, end-to-end software applications on MadCap Flare writing tool.My goal is to transform my enthusiasm and creativity into a position, where I grow personally as well as contribute towards the growth of the organization.PS: When I'm not working I love playing cricket, badminton and all kinds of outdoor sports. Dancing and singing help me relax and reboot myself. I'm also passionate about writing and making short films.
