We should listen to the voice of conscience. It does not take nearly as much courage as one might think to admit to our mistakes and learn from them. Human beings are in this world to learn and to change themselves in learning."

- Traudl Junge (March 16 1920 - February 10 2002)

I would like to call myself a linux software engineer mostly working in systems area who loves to write/hack into other open source programs and contribute to various projects within the linux open source community. I have worked for various networking companies, startups, mid-size public companies etc in/around Vancouver, Canada area for many years. Although originally from India, I have lived in Canada for many years.

I am very passionate about tennis & an avid 3.5+ level recreational player and love to hit with hitters of intermediate level. I have also played cricket, badminton and soccer at various stages of my life. I love traveling, strength training and fitness and enjoy the outdoor life.

I completed my post graduate M.Sc degree from the Department of Computer Science, University of British Columbia. I was affiliated with Networks Systems and Security Research Group under the supervision of Dr. Charles 'Buck' Krasic. I collaborated with Dr. Ashvin Goel, Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Toronto regarding my masters' thesis work. Buck no longer works for UBC but is now employed at Google in their Mountain View, California campus.

This is my one and only permanent homepage to publicize my work. My contributions to upstream linux kernel can be tracked using this and this.

If you want to check when I am busy, you can do so through the public view of my calendar.

I keep scribbling notes that do not really qualify as blogs but important nevertheless (mostly technical).
My \"official\" blog entries are actually hosted at the google blogger website. Mostly, my writeups are kind of boring. I generally write about the books I read or the movies I see or some of my weird experiences and feelings. I try to write stuff completely orthogonal to the tech environment in which I live, thrive and earn my living. Feel free to leave a note.

Research:

My research interests primarily include Operating Systems & Real Time OS. My M.Sc thesis title was:

Achieving Predictable Timing and Fairness Through Cooperative Polling

Please feel free to check our project homepage: http://wiki.nss.cs.ubc.ca/QStream/Coop

My undergraduate project on AVOS development: http://anirban.org/avos. (no longer maintained)

A repository of most of my undergrad projects (mostly in VB and VC) is here.
