A unique blend of sharpness and goofiness. Being an engineer for a startup comes with heightened attention to details, thoroughness in planning things. At the same time literary and athletic interests teach how to be laid back. When I am not working on software, I am running, playing football, weights training or riding bicycle. I like to spend vacations outdoors, esp hiking, skiing or camping. I also have a faculty with Hindustani Classical Music, having trained in Tabla, Harmonium and some singing.
My family consists of me and my parents, both doctors. I am yet to meet someone who doesn't find my mom sweet natured and I think some of that has rubbed off on me. My dad is an intelligent and principled man whom I admire a lot.
As of professional pedigree, I graduated with B Tech (Computer Engineering) from VJTI, Mumbai, followed by Masters in Computer Science from NC State University. My first job was with VMWare, next with a startup called Instart Logic. Recently I have... more started with Akamai Technologies after they acquired Instart.
The rest is better left for in person.
Partner Preferences:I am looking for someone who has good career ambitions, has a career path, at least planned, for US and is equally interested in physical activities as me (strong preference). Bonus points for playing sports and for a regular workout routine.
