I graduated in Computer Engineering from Ilinois Institute Of Technology (IIT), Chicago. At present I am working with Bloomberg, a New York based financial information company, as Equity Derivatives application developer. I spend my spare time reading literature, drinking and convincing myself that i am a Linux guru. Born as an Aquarian I love living like a slob, but can't afford it. Like others i have to maintain a fine balance between hope and despair. Can't play too much with the madness. For me this world is a mix of stupid, simple and smart minds. A mix of ignorant, diligent and make-you-believe minds. A chaos, which has a tough-to-understand but interesting pattern. A pattern, which makes people lie to themselves, ocsillate around their multifarious resolutions and win whatever they want. Anyway i am just an engineer and here is my resume.
Research
I am a member of Concurrent Research Group, www.iit.edu/~concur , at Illinois Institute Of Technology. As my master's research i created a new IPC technique for UNIX, Mailslots, which won the IBM Linux Scholar Challenge, 2002. I saved the moment when i hogged the sidebar. Click mailslots.sourceforge.net/mailslots.htm for more information on project. I thank my friends and professors for their support without which this was not feasible.
