Pursuing my Masters in Information Security at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering from Pune Institute Of Computer Technology (PICT) Completing 5+ years of work experience after my bachelors degree, I decided to break out of the daily din of assulting keyboard and staring at apparently mindless characters on screen and meaningless bits and bytes in a packet, and come back to school, some really good school. With an intention to do something better with my life. And so here I'm now, pursing my masters at Carnegie Mellon University in Information Security. I was longest employed at Nevis Networks, India, as a software engineer working on the Threat Containment Technology, Nevis' answer to increasing network security concerns. That's when I realized security is where I want to be! Oh, of cousrse, System Programming is my first love, though! I'm more active on my blog Ramblings of an unfettered mind... There you will find an update on my day-to-day life! This site is still a work in progress, it's an attempt to detail the information about me and my skills. Check out "the latest" on my site.
