Having put in over 20 years of experience in the Software Development Industry, I have worked on most technologies - right from Punch-Card Programming to Microsoft .NET. However, for 12+ years now, I have been focusing most of my time on .NET development technologies, specializing in web development technologies.

I started my career as a Junior Punch-Card Programmer and moved on to COBOL, C, dBase, C++, Clipper and Visual Basic. I have put in nearly 11+ years as a Systems Analyst and Project Lead, working my way up to the post of Solutions Architect with specialization in the e-Commerce Domain, focusing on Website/Portal Development, Hosting and Web Application Development technologies. And after nearly 4 years of overseas development experience in the USA, I returned back to India nearly 5 years back, and have been a Freelancer ever since.
