Presently I'm working as a Network Systems Engineer with COLT at Gurgaon, India. My previous employers were Hughes-Escorts Communication, Gurgaon and Deeproot Linux, Bangalore.

I did my schooling in the holy town of Allahabad. For kindergarten I was sent to Jagat Taran Nursery School, IFFCO Phulpur. After that I went to Kendriya Vidyalaya, IFFCO Phulpur and passed AISSCE in 1997.

For further studies, I joined Regional Engineering College (now known as National Institute of Technology) in Durgapur in the year 1999. Although, I earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering there, my interest was in computers. I got introduced to GNU/Linux in the year 2000 itself and since then I started feeling at home with it.

I was born as a first child to my Indian parents on 21st June 1980 and was brought up in IFFCO township (Ghiyanagar) in Allahabad. I've three younger siblings and they all live with my parents in Lucknow.
