CURRENT MISSION

is to travel often, meet, learn and share ! As life is about the people we meet and the things we create with them.

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going person who likes to meet new people, learn and share with them. I am passionate about technology and also very optimistic about its future. Quoting Edward O. Wilson, “We have decommissioned natural selection, and now we must look deep within ourselves and decide what we wish to become.”

Currently, I work in the area of Software Security research at Microsoft, working to make the Internet a more secure place.

I am an outdoorsy kind of person and I love running, hiking, playing basketball and squash. Also, love solving puzzles and reading books on varied subjects.

PHILOSOPHY

Things don't happen, one has to make them happen !
