Interests: I am a grad student at Indiana University and am following my interests in programming languages. I am interested in the notion of programmability, in how to express
ideas and in the nature of computation. The computer is a medium that can dynamically simulate the details of any other medium, including media that cannot exist physically. It is not a tool, although it can act like many tools. The computer is the first metamedium, and as such it has degrees of freedom for representation and expression never before encountered and as yet barely investigated. The protean nature of the computer is such that it can act like a machine or like a language to be shaped and exploited. Profile: I graduated from Model Engg College, Cochin, India with a BTech in Computer Science and Engg. I spent some years in the computer industry; starting my formal career at Cognizant (CTS), I worked with CTS' 'Centre of Excellence' for .Net technologies. I worked for brief period with ThoughtWorks, the company popular for its extreme programming and agile methodologies. Prior to being at IU, I was a 'dev' (SDE) on the Windows Vista/Longhorn operating system group at Microsoft, IDC, Hyd. I have also worked informally with Vulcan and the CSE/BIT group at Microsoft and was once an MVP for C#. |
