me

i was born in madras, india in 1969. some of that timing still stuns me.  i missed jim morisson, jimi hendrix and janis joplin

i studied in Madras, Ranchi, Calcutta and Vizag for my school years. 

i went to iit madras where i did litle studying but earned multiple doctorates  in everything except educational pursuits. 

in 1991 i went to the real U of M (U of Minnesota).  had privilege of knowling people like nachsteim and kelton. I also enjoyed ice fishing, deer hunting, which was something people from India do not really get to do. 

in 1993 i went to Texas A&AM. i learned a lot about life, blues, and neural networks.  i used them to optmized scheduling of dual plexed testers for semiconductor chips for motorola. I also played a lot of blues guitar for beer money in overflow beer gardens on s 6th Street in Austin. 

then i joined corporate america.  

now, i do stuff i love.  paint, ride the bike, play guitars, and generally hang with my dogs.
