I don't know what to blog at this moment. A lot coming to my mind starting from my very first day when I landed in Bangalore.
Just after my college days, couple of sad days in Chennai after that its like a dream when Lloyd called me and told me to come this tech world, I did not have any second thoughts. I came to Bangalore on a Onam vacation. First day to Office (Integer software solutions), I was nervous, obvious; first job :), met 4-5 mallus too the same day :).
After office hours only I came to know that I am going to stay with my company's CEO only, Ha stunned when i heard that, but when I met my CEO - Prince, I am amazed, em brassed, how can a person can be so enthusiastic, down to earth - yes he is like that only. Lloyd told me that we are taking up a project which cant be imagined by a fresher. A switching software which connects to ATM's, POS terminals etc. And my job was to tame Linux for this project development. I struggled initially, but again Prince took an hour session explaining how to be a successful person in life. Fly like a phoenix bird from turmoils. Lloyd provided my the technical support and Prince the mental support, thats more that enough for a person to survive.
ATM project we executed it, we were able to complete the one in no time. Unfortunately Prince was not able to find a client, thats a sad thing, though the experience we gained out of the project is enormous. Some more name I would like to mention here, Sheru, Jubs, Jeru, Gopz, Peeths... Yes it was a good team, no doubt about it.
After Integer, we; the same team except Gopz and Peeths joined Maintec technologies, I don't have any nice things to share in that company. But again we all the same team, the same commitment, another challenge of creating a Banking software. I decided to look out for a different choice for the first time from there. I worked only for three months and joined new company Fidelity on May-06
Fidelity Investments - Lot of things during the stay for 4 years. Ups and downs. I got lot of exposure, met very talented professionals. Gained a lot of professional knowledge from this company. Its was nice working with Fidelity. But there are some negative thoughts also which I did not want to blog it here. Every year was exciting, but I really enjoyed during my last 2 years working with one of the critical teams (I'm not going to mention the name here, hmmm financial sector, no wonder). During this period I visited Boston. It was one of the dream in my life. I enjoyed the period of 45 days during the stay. One of the things I never forget is my visit to Franklin Street (FSF - Free Software Foundation) HQ.
Yesterday I completed my tenure with Fidelity and relived from the job.
I'll be joining the new company Infosys technologies coming Monday (08-Mar-2010). Yes I'm excited about it. New company, new place. Haa I'll be joining at Kerala (God's own country) Trivandrum campus. One main reason about this excitement is that I can be close to my parents. Hmmm let me see how can I take care of them well.
Stay connected for more updates...
