About

My Story

I was born and brought up in Jalpaiguri, a small town in West Bengal, India. I had developed a keen interest in Computer Programming during my school days and that led me to IIT Delhi, where I pursued by Bachelors in Computer Science. Since graduating, I have worked as a research scholar at IBM Research Lab and am currently the Lead Engineer and working member of the founding team at MosixTech.

When I am not busy programming, I like to spend my time reading novels, sketching and cycling. I am also making humble efforts at learning the harmonica and violin albeit with not much success.
