About Myself :
I was born and brought up at IIT Kanpur. After completing my schooling at Central School, IIT Kanpur, I cleared JEE with an All India Rank of 80 and
joined B.Tech in
Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Kanpur. I passed out in 1990 with a CPI of 9.7 and joined Larsen and Toubro as Trainee. Very soon got bored with Mumbai life style and shifted to Chandigarh to join Punjab Wireless. I worked there for 2 years in the area of Mobile Communication. I got experience in both design and production departments.
Then I decided that I will go for further studies, so I came back to IIT Kanpur in 1992. I joined as Research Engineer in Department of Electrical Engineering and joined M.Tech in Telecom Networks as a part time candidate. I completed my M.Tech in fall of 1995 with a CPI of 9.25. My M.Tech thesis was in the area of ATM.
IIT Kanpur was at that time gearing up to lay down a robust Local Area Network in the campus. I was identified as a resource person to carry this activity. I shifted to Computer Centre as Senior Engineer in 1998. Since then I am working in Computer Centre.
