Welcome to my Page. I work as a Project Manager with Justec Software, New Delhi, Indian division of Justec, Japan, http://www.justec.co.jp.

I am basically a Java Programmer, but occasionally do work on C++/Visual C++. My areas of interest are Agile Methodologies -XP/IXP, AI, AOP, Design Patterns and Cryptographic techniques. 
I was introduced to patterns by Joshua Kerievsky, http://www.industriallogic.com. Check out Joshua's current work, Refactoring to Patterns, http://industriallogic.com/xp/refactoring/.

Currently, I am working on Avalanche Prediction System (C++ and Visual Basic), an AI system making using of different AI algo's, namely, C4.5, Fuzzy Rule Base, Support Vector Machines, and Bagging & boosting techniques. The system would be used to predict Avalanches in mountain regions.
