Over the years, I have had a chance to work on some very diverse
projects; from engineering distributed systems to banking solutions. It has been an
amazing journey full of successful ventures, unexpected roadblocks & a few wrong
turns; Overall I am very proud of all I have acheived & I am eagerly awaiting new
challenges, to utilize from my past experiences.

In my part time, I work as Big Data Evangelist and organizer for Houston Spark Meetup group. Between 2010 and 2014, I worked as a coordinator/volunteer at the NYC UX Professional's Association. I participate in events regularly. Before I moved to New York City, I was a regular member of Gateway CHI in St. Louis, MO. During my Masters' program, I had the privilege to work on a project funded by the National Science Foundation. I led the Research & Design on a Software tool under development by the Caterpillar Mechatronics Laboratory. I published & presented 2 research papers at the prestigious Americas Conference on Information Systems, San Francisco, CA. I also conducted an experimental study on Avatar Adoption in 3D MMO's or Virtual Worlds during the time when it seemed that such environments were going to shape our future. For my work, I received the Outstanding Graduate Student award.
