Volunteered in an NGO called Bhumi until I started hating the attitude of some of its people, shown towards volunteering and co-working.
BE in CSE, CEG, AU, (2003-2007)
I’m an ordinary man who grew up under immense negative motivation that actually transformed me into a highly self motivated human. Though I’m yet another software engineer as of now by profession, I don’t want to sit in front of a machine and do programming to create wealth for some unknown capitalist and call it innovation. I don’t either get attracted by that few ‘lakhs’ they throw at you. I want to put to use my talent in computing working on some real world problems impacting the society. I dreamed about working in ISRO in my childhood, but now I don’t see a point in it.
Responsibilities and Opportunities for Technologists
How Computing can impact society
Interests/Goals
- To attack problems faced by the global society using technology and bring in some positive changes
- To build some technology that will reach as well as be useful to the common man
In general, I loved computing while studying but unhappy now because I’m not able to do much to the society using it. In the next decade, I would like to see myself getting transformed into a social entrepreneur
Let’s see!
