1. Professional
I ' m a software Consultant working for DENRO Inc
in Gaithersburg, Maryland from Nov 1994. DENRO provides communication equipment for ATC ( Air Traffic Controller).
In past I was senior hardware Engineer at ITI Switching R & D Bangalore, India. I was there for a long time from Jan 1987 to Nov 1994.
When I was in ITI, I published few Design Ideas EDN, Electronic Design and Australian Electronics.
2. Education
I graduated from Electronics and Communication department,
Sri Jaya Chamarajendra college of Engineering, Mysore, India Class of 1984.
3. My Computer 's and OS 's
At home my operating system of choice from June 1996 is Linux.
My personal workstation is a Pentium 75
with 24 megabytes of RAM, 2 meg video card, 13 Gig Hard Drive (IBM, MAXTOR & FIJUSTU) and
iomega Zipplus ZIP drive running
RedHat 4.2 Linux. I always liked Unix as an Operating System because
it is designed for Engineers, it has collection of small tools which can be
interlinked to do a complex job. I think the idea of pipes is a break through in Operating System.
At work though I work on DOS / WIN95, I have made it usable by creating an Unix like environment. I run the DJGPP suite, it contains all unix command normally used . There is also U/WIN created by David Korn, author of the KornShell at AT&T Lab. Portions of the code, documentation and installation software is developed by Wipro, Ltd, India. DJGPP uses bash (bourne again sh) shell, U/WIN uses Korn shell.
4. Internet
I often use google as my Internet
search engine. If I am looking for a file on FTP Sites,I use FTPsearch.
Previously I was using Archie, which is slow and cumbersome, but the only way
if you have just e-mail.
