I fell in love with programming at the age of 13. I got over it within a year, since my love was pretty BASIC.
I fell in love with it again at the age of 17, as I could C why it was so much fun. The SQL turned out to be much better.
I turned my dream job into a career. I have worked for years on the .NET stack. And then, one fine day, the KAFKAesque nature of my work at a multi-national organization finally dawned upon me.
In the last few years, I started giving back to the community, thru my blogs, and my little contributions to this nifty place called Stack Overflow.
APACHE career is what I am building these days.
