The Journey : Early Days to How I Got Here
I started as an associate software engineer in Mphasis, an HP company
working on Java/J2EE technologies. With growing years of experience I
got more exposure to the latest technologies and processes of the IT
world. After moving to Symantec became part of mobile app development
project. After initial learning curve, I gradually became the key
developer managing various security aspects of our app including
deciding on the right crypto graphic algorithm to be used, picking up
the secure mobile data storage, selecting the right code obfuscator tool
etc.
