About
- así es la vidaI wish I could have someone write up an "about" section for me, but then I couldn't find anyone to describe me better than myself. ssiigghh... así es la vida ...I am some 10 years away from having a mid-life crisis. Totally love Threadless t-shirts, soccer / football and technology in particular.I was bit by the startup / entrepreneurship bug during graduate school, and have piously devoted myself to appease the "startup" goddess since then; In the process, I worked at an "ahead-of-its-time" e-commerce startup in India, where I learned the initial lessons on entrepreneurship from a couple of very beautiful minds, and completed the course successfully after been part of an "ACQUISITION" in the indian startups eco-system. I always double check to point this feat on my resume since then.Continuing my devotion, I added sports (my second love) to the startup idea, and eventually joined ESPN (one of the most innovating companies around) where I am currently part of the team building products that lie at the intersection of sports & technology.In between jobs, I dabble with random ideas, projects and things, including photography, music, ideating and sleeping. I successfully + unsuccessfully started a small and informal consulting biz in 2009 (more on that story later)

- Experience
- Feb 2010 - PresentUI Engineer / ESPN
- Aug 2009 - Feb 2010Co-founder / SimpleThingsStarted out with a plan to create mobile applications for everyday problems; but the "initial cash-flow" challenge of starting a product oriented company forced us to start a technology consulting service as well. Eventually, spent most of the time consulting for a startup, QMR Labs, in the process & supply-chain optimization domain, and a North American company, Survis Technology Corporation, helping them setup their online real estate marketplace. Was a very challenging (physically and emotionally) phase of life, and an intense learning experience.
- Apr 2008 - Aug 2009Software Development Engineer / PicsquareAs is often the case in an early stage startup, my work / life involved everything one can possibly imagine, including technology, operations, brainstorming, order packaging, customer support and even tea / coffee ! Developed the entire suite of product customization tools (still used), lead 2 major interface revamps, and re-engineered the entire order management process. Was blissful !!
