Heloo World!!!

When any baby says "Hello world" as his/her first word rather than "mommy" or something then assume that one more programmer gonna get added in the pool.....

Myself Vinit Dhatrak, am also a part of this traffic, started contributing to the industry from Calsoft Pvt Ltd. But I no longer belong to it, as I joined Evergrid Pvt Ltd. recently.

I think this is really nice place to post our thoughts, also nice discussions also can happen. I ask everybody to put anything crap here, flood this area and utilize what blogspot is providing us.

Go ahead!!!!

Mayur Thigale

Hi, I am Mayur Thigale.

I am originally from Ahmednagar. I completed my graduation (Engineering in Computer Science), from Vishwakarma Institute Of Technology, Pune.

Currently, I am working with a startup called InMage Systems.Pvt. Ltd. We are working on a continuous data protection product (details for which can be found on the website). Earlier I worked with Colayer Web Conversations.

I worked in Colayer Web Conversations for 6 months and in InMage Systems for a year.
During these one and half years , my work has involved a large amount of coding in C,C++ .

I think this is enough.

Thanks,
Mayur

Opening Toast

Welcome to Protocols....

First, I want to thank to Chetan for executing this Idea and want to congratulate to all my team-mates, finally we have started a long Journey with a small Step...

Hi, I am Aniket Lakade.

I am from a small town called Walchandnagar (Pune district), but persisted in Pune from last 6-7 years. I have completed my graduation (2006) in Information Technology Engineering from Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (VIT), Pune.

I started my professional life with Persistent Systems (PSPL). Currently, I am working on a Data-ware house project. Mainly I deals with Planner & Optimizer area for the project from Netezza.

Besides this, I also have an interest in systems area. I usually play-around with Windows Device driver stuff.

Thats all Milord :-)

Rahul Gundecha

Hi everyone,
I am Rahul Gundecha.

(first of all thanks to Chetan for appreciating and executing the idea.
And also thanks for citing me with my brainchild :D )

I am from Ahmednagar (Maharashtra State). I was in pune for completing B.E. (Bachelor of Engineering) in I.T. (Information Technology) from Vishwakarma Institute Of Technology, Pune.
Then for a year, I worked in Mahindra British Telecom, Pune. I was involved in development work on open source java technologies like struts, hibernate (and also little bit of ofbiz, spring...).

& now I am in IIT Bombay (in Aamachi Mumbai) doing M.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering. I joined here in July 2006.

About my one year stay in IIT, I have lot many things to say... This is really great place to be in. I met many excellent people in the field of Computer Science. You can go through list of professors and students herein IIT bombay. Being an IITian is experience of lifetime and I am very HaPpY to be a part of it.

In this one year I done some (mini?) projects for the courses(/subjects) I registered for. Usually we have a project or a termpaper or a seminar or combination of these things in each of the course. I will just briefly list out the projects I done.
(course name - project name)
1) Performance Evaluation of Computer Systems and Networks - Study of Prioritized Treatment of Specific OSPF Version 2 Packets. coding in C
2) Implementation techniques in DBMS - Query de-correlation for PostGreSql. coding in C
3) QOS In Networks - Simulation of RED for TCP traffic. coding in C++
4) QOS In Networks - Term paper on Admission Control in 802.11e
5) Embedded Systems - Developed kernel patch to rtlinux for "Handling Sporadic Tasks in Off-line Scheduled Distributed Real-Time Systems". coding in C.
6) R&D project - “Measurement-based Evaluation of Virtualization Platforms”. Virtualization Platform used is open source solution xen.
Apart from this, there were some assignments (~ mini-projects), seminars in many of the courses. And I had nice experience of being Teaching Assistant for the course Computer Programming & Utilization which involved guiding and evaluating a batch of 22 students for C, C++ stuff.I will end up this technical stuff herein, will continue later..

In all its a hectic life here, but really cooooool :) I am truely Njoying my 2 year stay in this heaven.

I guess this is all I wanna say,
(for some personal details you can visit my page)

thanks for reading :P
-rahoooooooool

Chetan Pathak

Hi, I am Chetan Pathak.

I am originally from Mumbai, but have settled in Pune for almost the last 7 years now. I completed my graduation (Engineering in Information Technology), from Vishwakarma Institute Of Technology, Pune.

Currently, I am working with a startup called Kernel Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (Packetgeneral Networks). We are working on a security related product (details for which can be found on the website), which is based on a technology related to File System Stacking.

This is the first place that I joined after I completed my graduation (2005), which gives me a total working experience of about 2 years now. During these 2 years at KSPL, my work has involved a large amount of coding in C, Perl and shell scripting. I also have some basic knowledge in HTML coding, and also quite some experience in testing.

This mixed profile of mine shows, that being a part of a startup, I "have had the opportunity / had to face the burden" of not being only in the _dev_ team, or only in the _QA_ team (or not being part of either, for that matter :-p).

I have also been involved in guiding a few final year projects (since almost as soon as I was done with mine).

That is pretty much what I have to confess :-)

(For further non-technical details, go here).

The Opener

I am writing this under the guise of the administrator of this blog, as labelled by the "blogspot" people, on the "Settings" page. However, my duties as an _administrator_ end at that. The creation of this blog was originally the brainchild of Rahul Gundecha, which was simply seconded and executed by me.

The description for this page pretty much sums up the purpose of this blog. However, I do not want to start off with any technical stuff. So, I thought it would be nice if each member can just introduce himself, which will help to serve two important purposes:

• Mark the entry of a new member on the posting list.
• Have a record of where each member was, in his career path, at the point of time when he joined in.

I think that is enough of being _administrator_y.

Happy blogging to the members, and happy reading to the readers !!
