I like useful technologies and love building it even more. I enjoy designing and building software systems ranging from clients to large scale distributed systems. In my opinion, high-level design and documentation comes first, then coding-and-testing cycles. And that nothing beats building a team with extremely happy, motivated developers out there no matter what the productplatform is. My happiest moments have been times when we have come up with a series of ridiculously simple solutions for complicated problems and I simply love those aha moments. Think small and dream big, that's what I'd say. I have helped design buildlead many Ask.com systems including many parts Ask's core distribution infrastructure, mobile apps, API platform, high-engagement polls and quizzes platform (currently part of Ask.com home page and integrated with search results) and parts of Ask.com's (crowd sourced) community based QA product. I have been fortunate to be able to hire some awesome engineers and help build at least large teams here at Ask. Recently I designed a simple, but extremely high performance, durable real-time, stream processing platfrom based on Node.js which me and my team are currently building. It heavily utilizes event-based computing non-blocking io. I think it easily rivals twitter storm and really attempts to make large-scale distributedparallel computing accessible and fun I am hopeful, we will be able to open source it and share with the community. Storm proposes think queues and workers are painful to manage and scale. Well, I beg to disagree, hence this effort. In my spare time, I like to build my own backends, apps and utilities to keep up with my curiosities. I am a creative person and I enjoy such company. Apart from Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science, I have studied fine arts (Industrial Design) and its still a big hobby of mine along with photography digital DJ-ing.
