Everything is old, new is Artificial Intelligence and new Programming language Kotlin. Here my interest moved from everything to Artificial Intelligence. I developed few POC and tested with Google Home Personal Assistant, Seems it is just a beginning. Also started writing basic code bases to kick start the Kotlin, really a beautiful language.My development strategies are, write reactive with RxAndroid, inject all dependencies with Dagger and Making your views more declarative using Databinding. This makes more robust, flexible and extensible code bases, which welcomes changes without moving the bricks and reinventing the wheel. I am exploring new use cases and solve the complex Android problems using such frameworks. I like clean and beautiful code.In Mobile Automation Testing framework, I started working on Mockito, Espresso and Selenium. I have managed and planned few college visits, Also judged and mentored college students for different Hackathons as part of TCS Academic Interface Program.1.

I closely work with User Experience and User Interaction Designing team here to make sure the quality and deliver best we can do for our apps. I like to have regular chat sessions with different project teams, QA teams etc. for deep understandings of various mobile apps. It helps me a lot to keep myself diverse and think in every aspects of a software development. "I always think nothing I know but everything I can try to do.", sounds like over confidence but it's not, it delivers a positive attitude and the key thing which I follow in my life. Only because of this I have learned many things in my life which I was not supposed to. Saying "YES" to people for some work without much knowing forced me to put best of mine and increased my FAST LEARNING SKILLS, Overall very beneficial for me and surprisingly people never got to know that I did not know anything when I agreed to do and always appreciated my work. While doing something, if you can appreciate your own work and think you have done your best, I am sure your will be appreciated by others too. For me developers are not like a marketing fellow so to make satisfy others we have to make ourselves satisfied.I am also working as a special role of Change Manger in TCS Mobility Domain to bring the latest technologies, frameworks and development tools like Android Studio, Gradle build systems. I am starting with the movement of already developed apps in Android Studio along with making a habit of using Android Studio and Gradle for new apps. I am also appointed to review all the Android applications to verify whether they are good enough in quality before going live.So lot of techie stuff, LinkedIn made for it but beside coding I love to help people,dance, talk people on social network like Google+ etc.Limit Exceeded :(
