I am an Engineer from Sardar Patel University. I have strong opinions about everything! I express them here at http://www.gitshah.com/. I’ve been a professional software developer since 2002 working with a variety of different technologies.

Professional

Software developer (Yes, I do coding!), I don't write useless documents and draw pretty diagrams, I do the real thing! Strongly believe in writing unit tests. Any code (no matter when you have written it) that does not have Unit Tests is legacy code. I do a lot of re-factoring or should we say re-writing?

I am also a co-founder and CTO at makkajai (http://www.makkajai.com) where we build Beautiful, Fun and Innovative Educational Games. Our latest game Monster Math (which makes learning math a fun for kids) is already available on the AppStore (https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/monster-math-grade-3-game/id924441242)

Languages I Speak

Objective C, C++, Javascript, Shell Script, Kotlin, Java, C#, Haskell, Ruby, Groovy, Perl, Scala

Interests

Being a Gemini, I am interested in a lot of different things. TDD, BDD, OO Design, Mobile technologies (Android, iPhone, Brew, Symbian). I like xnix systems. Love using Ubuntu and Mac OS X. Big fan of Vim for quick editing, but prefer an IDE when I have to do real programming. From the name its evident that I am a fan of distributed version control systems. My personal favorite is git, but have used and liked Mercurial as well.

Love trekking, mix martial arts, playing tennis, traveling, bike and car trips.
