About Me
For the most part not too many of you know much if anything about me, so I figured I would tell.
A little history:
I graduated college in May 2002 with my BS in Computer Science and Mathematics. When I started out in college I was going for my BS in Mathematics and I decided to take Computer Science on the side. Then I fell in love with computers. I didn't even own a computer until 1999, heck I hadn't even been on the internet until 1998 when I started working in my school's computer lab as an assistant. I continued to work in the computer lab, eventually (after about 2yrs) becoming a full time employee for the university in charge of most of the computer labs on campus. I worked for the university until my last semester at which point I wanted a developer job. So I began working as a software developer for a small software company in Feb 2002, which is when I started programming in, my now favorite programming language, C#.
I don't consider myself to be an expert in anything. I do consider myself to be an excellent problem-solver; I think this is from my math background. I have learned a ton the last couple years about .Net, XML, SQL Server, and programming in general. I learned most of it from the DevelopMentor and the Win_tech_off_topic lists.
Current News:
5/2004-8/2004: I interned at Microsoft working in the Outlook group. I was extended a full time offer to work for Microsoft once I finish my Masters degree, so I will be back in Redmond full time May 2005.
8/2003: I'm currently attending Grad School at Virginia Tech, working on my Masters in Computer Science.
7/2003: I got married to Ramola Jadhav, click here for a picture.
What do I do in my spare time?
I work on miscellaneous small .Net projects maybe I will polish some up and post them. I compete in TopCoder programming competitions. I play WarCraft III. I attend aerboics classes to try and get myself off the computer sometimes, and let me tell you it is very refreshing and a big stress reliever, I highly recommend it to all my fellow computer geeks.
