About
I owe the world a good explanation why I have these web pages up in the first place so let me first clear that up. One, I believe that I have something to contribute to the Web. Two, I thoroughly enjoy writing. And three, perhaps the best answer, lies in a wonderful line from the song Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls
“When everything’s made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am.”
A large part of who I am has been influenced by the institutions and corporations I have been at. I believe they should tell you something about the path that I have traced.
Educational Institutions
- The Hyderabad Public School (Begumpet). The school I went to in Hyderabad, India, the city I grew up in
