I have been doing Android since my school days. What started as building a treasure hunt app for my girlfriend turned into a full time career a few years later. In college, I built an app called the Indian Logo Quiz, that is not on the Play Store anymore but got around 50k downloads. Later when in university, I built Now Playing Tracker, an app to track the songs identified by the Google Pixel in the background. Got around 5-6k downloads and still lives on the Play Store. Started my professional career at VMware working on MDM apps and now working at Level Home on Android apps interacting with hardware devices using Bluetooth and Wifi APIs. When not writing code, I usually am out and about traveling and clicking photos on my analog camera.

Many times people told me that I should focus on one system or one programming language and become an expert in it. I never liked to listen to such advice.

During over 10 years of career as a SAP consultant, I worked on almost every SAP module ever released. My ABAP code written in Walldorf is probably still used by many companies. I hired, trained and managed tens of great technical consultants. Then I spent 6 years in the IoT and Edge AI business, building technical team while taking care of business development and delivering custom hardware solutions to clients on 4 continents, using (again) many technologies and programming languages.

Today I am still not an expert in a narrow domain, but thanks to that I am proud to join my mother company as someone with commercial experience and expertise in SAP, IoT, AI and Software Development, to take care of the entire technology stack and serve over 130 professionals as a Chief Technology Officer.
