Interests

Apart from doing the techie stuff like reading and blogging(tech stuff again),I enjoy travelling. I love driving and enjoy going on long drives and never miss the long drive opportunities as much as possible. I like to catch up with friends and family members and spend quality time together.

When indoors, I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technolgy advancements in Microsoft's .NET (that's my background) and web development world and Artificial Intelligence.

Initiatives & Appreciations

During the root cause analysis we discovered that most of the bugs were due to lack of impact analysis during development.Came up with a template for impact analysis that every developer should follow for fixing customer/regression bugs. This significantly reduced induced bug count after strictly following the impact analysis process.

Due to lack of a proper build log or inconsistency in the way build logs are written for bugs fixed, it was harder for customer to understand what issues were addressed in the released version. Came up with a format to enter a build log that is being followed across the teams, thus adding consistency in the build log format and helping customer to understand better.

Volunteered to be a trainer to train new onboarding people about our product and technologies and has experience proving training for a larger group.

Our presence in Finnish market was solely dependent on acquiring Sahke2 certification In finnish market, to operate in public sector its mandatory to be certified with Sahke2 compliance. After decoding Sahke2 standard, we did the implementation with professional services team at Pune who had little knowledge on the product as a whole and the R&D processes and obtained the certification with zero deviance.Obtaining the certification was an important milestone as it opened up a whole new market for the organization.
