Almost all my formal education has been geared towards Software, but I turned down a job with EDS and decided to take up writing full-time. I was given a chance as a rank newcomer in a wonderful company, Media Sphere Communications, right after my post graduation program, but I was unable to continue because of personal commitments.
Bachelor's in Computer Applications from Symbiosis Institute of Computer Studies and Research, Pune.
MS in Advanced Information Technology from International Institute of Information Technology, Pune. Stream: Advanced Software Technologies with specialization in Grid and Distributed Computing.
My experience in writing is limited to a college magazine, my short stint at Media Sphere Communications, and various articles I have written as assignments from an agent. I don't even know where they were published as this information wasn't shared with us.
My computing experience is made up of the 5 years of formal education, where I have written many programs. During the courses, I have also had substantial project work with various companies in the city.
Other than that, I have worn many hats: as an HR trainee in ARENCO (Dubai), as a waitress in Indian Ocean Restaurant (Scunthorpe, UK), as supermarket pre-opening staff in Orange Supermarket (Dubai) and as a customer services representative in ABN Amro (Dubai). Plus, I have put together colour-boards for my mother's interior design company, and taught French for beginners in a graduate program.
