I'm a Technical Program Manager at Amazon with 22+ years experience in Software Development, Project/Program Management, Agile Coaching/Management and Product development. I began my career as a Java developer, dabbled in all areas of software development using Core Java, JSP/Servlets, J2ME, Swing, EJB 2.0/3.0, Spring Boot etc. I earned the SCJP and SCWCD certifications way back then. Off late I have not been in core programming roles, but I love learning new skills and trying out new tech. I current hold the Certified Scrum Master, SAFe Agilist, Profesional Product Owner, PMP, ITIL, AWS Cloud Practitioner and AWS Certifified Solutions Architect Associate certifications. I also completed a Professional Certificate Program in Product Management from IIM Kozhikode and am a Certified Product Manager from the Product School.

I have been one of the earfliest of Hindi bloggers from India and dablle in content creation since 2002. I used to blog at Null Pointer in English and at Nuktachini in Hindi, these are seldom updated now. I founded India's first (and only) desi blog awards Indibloggies and the first Hindi blog aggregator Chittha Vishwa, Hindi webzines Nirantar and Samayiki, and Hindi podcast Podbharati. I have contributed to the localization of multiple pieces of software. I have been instrumental in beginning initiatives like Buno Kahani, a group blog where various authors literally weave a story and Anugunj, a web event hosted in turn by Hindi bloggers where various bloggers write on a given topic.

I presently publish the newsletters Podcast Round-up (in Hindi) and The Agile Chronicles. Click here if you are interested to know more about me.
