Experience

I developed software for the Symbian OS, specifically for Nokia Series 60 mobile phones. If you have a Series 60 phone you can download the software at the bottom of the page. Here I used C++ and the Series 60 SDK for development.

Developed a digital signature software product for a leading software company in India. Its a desktop solution for anyone to digitally sign documents in the electronic form on a personal computer.This solution coupled with a licensed digital certificate empowers any user to harness the power of digital certificates without bothering about the underlying technology. The software product was developed in C++ on windows using COM and MFC.

These are what I have been doing in the last few years. I have a total of 24 years of experience in software engineering. I received a bachelors degree in engineering from National Institute of Technology, Calicut in 1982.

Taskmaster 1.1 is a software developed by me for Nokia Series 60 phones (6600, 7610, 6680, N70, N90, N91 etc etc ..). Unlike most task managers for mobile phones, this allows you to assign tasks to people who work for you and manage them. You can download it here.
