How to choose an engineering college & branch after 12th std. 5 things that Computer Science Engineering students should focus on
Why do employees leave startups for big brands
I live in Pune, India.
I am currently a co-founder and CTO at ReliScore.com, a startup focused on allowing job-seekers to showcase their skills by solving problems, and uploading software samples. I am also the creator of PuneTech.com, a portal for the tech community in Pune, India. In the past I've worked for large companies, and small; I've worked in India and in the US; I've seen a successful exit, and I've seen a dotcom failure; I've done product development, and I've done research; I've written consumer software, and I've written enterprise software; and I've been a developer, I've been an architect, and I've been a manager (but hated it).
I've done my PhD with David DeWitt in Computer Sciences from the University of Wisconsin in 1999, and a B.Tech. in Computer Sciences from IIT-Bombay before that. I'm interested in a number of areas of computer science, including: highly scalable systems; distributed and fault-tolerant software systems; text search, information retrieval, and analysis of unstructured information. My latest interest is the understanding of what drives online communities.
