I am Managing Director of Datypic, a contract software development company. I have extensive experience as a consultant, software architect, developer, and data architect, specializing mainly in XML-related technologies and Java. I was a member of the W3C XML Schema Working Group, where I served as an Invited Expert. I am the author of Definitive XML Schema (Prentice Hall PTR, 2001), and XQuery (O`Reilly Media, 2007). ©

I love writing code. Ever since my first computer program in Python ( a script to play the role of a moderator in the party game Mafia ), I have been obsessed with the idea of using computer science to create pratical products. I believe in using computer science to transform and improve the lives of people around the world. I hate selling myself - so here are some things about me and my work. In, out, nobody gets hurt. I dropped out of my college in 2015, in the first semester of my Bachelors (of technology) programme. My grassroot freelancing careergrew into a professional tech services organisation in less than a year, and to a 100 developers strong team over two. I founded and lead the development of an e-commerce platform for enterprise businesses with a team of 20 developers. We acquired a leading Indian telecom firm as our pilot client. I acquried funding & incubation for the e commerce product, working with an Indian accelerator under GAN. I have consulted with a multinational financial services corporation as a mentor and trainer, and helped incubate more than 50 programmers that make their technical team between 20 - 20. I am currently leading the development of products that enable commerce over video & live media at EkAnek Networks. Even when I stop working, I continue to code. Most recently I have been working on a product that lets Indian businesses offer all forms of online payment to their customers by only including simple javascript on their cart pages.
