About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Money, Job, Fame will come today and you will loose them the next day, you will never loose your friends. My mission is to make as many friends as possible

ABOUT ME

I was born in an amzing city called Chennai in the south of culture rich country India. I did my undergrad in Electronics Engineering and wanted to do something different for my masters and did MIS at Carnegie Mellon univerisy in Pittsburgh in 2010. Moving to US was one of the most important decision of my life and i am glad i am here. I am currently in a job which requires me to travel every 6 month to a new place. I feel CS will give me opportunity to meet new people and also make new friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing i have ever done in my life was to save a 13 year old guys life. When i was playing volleyball in rehoboth beach in DE some kids started playing with us and one of the guy fell down face front and dint get up for few min and his friends were making fun of him. i felt there is something wrong and turned him round and he had a seizure. I gave him CPR and called 911 and got him to the hospital. His parents were very happy that i was there at the right moment :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn how to play Guitar and dance without making fun of myself.

I am pretty good at web designing.. if anyone needs help please contact me ;)
