Brief history
Electronics is my first passion. From the day my uncle showed me how an electric bulb works when I was 6 year old to this day I have been doing various electronics projects for fun. The closest I got to working for an electronic industry was with Garmin International as an embedded programmer for more than 3 years. My ideal job will be where I can mix my hardware/software expertise with business planning. Recently, I went back to school for PhD. My research is in providing indoor localization using Received Signal Strength. More like a GPS for indoor. Additionally, I have dabbled into social networking through a web based book cataloging tool that I developed called GuruLib.
