An Indian by birth and spirit, I moved to the United States, to study, and to work on the ground-breaking technologies that this country is famous for.

I'm currently working as a Senior Software Engineer at Sony Computer Entertainment America in Silicon Valley, CA. Before Sony, I was working as a Software Engineer at TransCore, the world leader in transportation management. Through my Master's and until a few months after completion, I was working at Resolution Systems Inc as a Software Engineer and Linux SysAdmin.

Born in Rohtak (a small town near Delhi), I was schooled at St. Joseph's College, Nainital (a small beautiful hill-station, very far from home), and at Delhi Public School, MR, New Delhi (bang in the middle of the capital of the nation). I received a Bachelor of Engineering degree majoring in Computer Engineering from the Institute of Technology & Management (thru MD University), Gurgaon. For my Master's, I majored in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics and was a research assistant in the AI Robotics Lab at Texas Tech University. Graduated with a Master of Science degree in May 2005.

While I was an undergrad, I learnt to play the guitar, and have played in two bands, and on-stage. My favorite kind of music is doors / g'n'r / aerosmith / u2 rock and matrix techno (these guys have lyrics, real lyrics, with soul!) What do I miss the most that I left behind in India?? My motorcycle. Yeah. An awesome metallic red Royal Enfield Bullet. Got to fill that void by buying one first chance I get. In 2002, I was able to get a membership to Mensa (for the uninitiated: its the high-iq society) -- yeah, I know, its an ego-booster wink-smiley.

As a computer scientist, I have developed in several programming languages, operating systems, developed enterprise web applications, handled databases, designed UIs, and even written embedded code for bare-bones hardware. I talk about some of my work in the projects section of this website. You might also want to check out my resume, or shoot me an email.

Bhagat Singh

Shaheed Bhagat Singh

Bhagat Singh and his comrades gave up their lives for a free, democratic and secular India. Today, India's economy is growing at breath-taking speeds. Yet, India is steeped in communal violence, corruption and injustice. Have we betrayed the sacrifices made by him and countless others?
