Hello!, let me make it very informal. There are situations where we want to be formal. I don't want to be that here. :)Honestly I never knew what I wanted to be. Just went on with the wind, the wind blown by my parents. I knew I was technical, so did my parents. Probably the reason why they thought of Engineering for me than Medical.I ended up doing MCA (Masters in Computer Science) and at that point I knew I loved Command Line Applications and Operating Systems more that the GUIs. I was getting more and more crazy about Systems. Linux and C were the biggies for me. I joined a startup (Proteans Software Solutions) at Bangalore in 2003 and the 1 year I spent with the company did the wonders for me. I had significant hands-on with the Linux kernel (2.4 versions and earlier) and a solid base in systems was built during this year.Never looked beyond Systems at any point of my career and as of today I have the below experiences. (Sorry about a story line in a Summary, as I said this is probably not a place I want to be formal. I will sure be formal when its required.:))(As on 2016)13 Years of Computer Science Industry Experience13 years of experience in System Programming and System Architectures13 years of experience in System Software Design and Development10+ Years of experience in System Architecture Verification Software Development10+ years of experience in Enterprise System Architectures (System z IO Architectures)3 years of experience in SCSI Subsystem3 years of experience in Linux Kernel and Device DriversSpecialties: IBM Mainframe CPU & IO Architecture, Architecture Verification, System Architecture, System IO Architecture, Operating Systems, Linux Kernel, C Programming, SCSI Subsystems, Device Drivers, Enterprise Architectures, System Software Design & Development.I am also the Co-Founder of Check4Spam (https://check4spam.com)
