About me

I studied at The University of Texas at Austin and Stanford University. I spent a couple of years at Microsoft in Redmond, WA, where I started as the Program Manager for Filesystems in Windows CE. Later, I owned both the Kernel and Filesystem for Windows CE 6.0 which we released in late 2006. Microsoft was a wonderful experience and I was very fortunate to have had a good team and two wonderful managers. I moved on in 2007 to go backpacking around the world. I traveled through South America, Africa, and Asia. It was great.

I continue to work in the smartphone industry, running a business with a focus on the ecosystem surrounding apps and their development and promotion.

I'm pretty risk averse in my business activities which often means that most people find them quite mundane and uninteresting. I have also learnt that I prefer to not discuss my business and future plans because the following idea happens to apply to me:

"People who talk about their intentions are less likely to make them happen." [1] [2] [3]

There are usually far more interesting things to discuss anyway.
