I would like to call myself a Linux kernel hacker who also loves to write/hack into other open source programs. Currently, I work as a software engineer for a Richmond based telecommunications company, Zeugma Systems in their kernel development team.
I completed my grad school from the Department
of Computer Science, University
of British Columbia. I was affiliated with the Distributed
Systems 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.
I was associated with Computer
Science Graduate Student Association and was a member of the Graduate
Admissions Committee. I also used to represent my department in the
Graduate Student
Society
Council.
This is supposed to be my permanent homepage to publicize my work. I also have a UBC homepage located at: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~anirbans . However, since I longer belong to UBC, this homepage might get disabled at the discretion of their system administrators. Currently, both locations are mirrors of each other.
I take pride in living in Vancouver, which has been voted consistently as one of the top livable cities of the World. I love the city's beautiful views, the lovely mountains, the cool beaches and the Pacific Ocean around, the proximity to skiing resorts like Whistler and the United States and the warmer and comfortable climate.
If you want to check when I am busy, you can do so through
the public
view of my calendar.
Though I am not a security geek, I still use
OpenPGP
to sign my emails (my supervisor convinced me that this is important
:)). You can view my public key here.
About me:
I was born in Kolkata, India, November the 16th, 1978. My
maternal language is Bangla
(English is
my closest second) which is the fourth
most widely spoken
language of the world after English. The Bengal region has
also produced many
great
intellectuals over the time in history. I did my
childhood education from Bharatiya
Vidya
Bhavan, a well known school in India with centers across the
sub
continent, USA, UK, Singapore & most recently in Australia. For a while, I studied at St. Xaviers College,
Kolkata, a well known undergraduate school for general sciences
where I was doing my B.Sc in Physics Honors. Later, I left studying Physics
Honors and joined IEM, a
private
engineering college in West Bengal province for my B.Tech degree.
These days, I am mostly involved with the Open Source community and contribute to the linux kernel development and development of other open source projects. To know any important news happenning in my life these days, check the feeds here: "News from my life and work". 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 if you want to say anything. I wouldn't even mind an outright "you suck!" comment :)
Research:
My research interests
primarily include Operating Systems
& Real Time OS. Additionally I
am also interested in networking & partly in machine learning too.
My
M.Sc thesis title was:
My undergraduate project on AVOS development:

(no longer maintained)
A repository of most of my
undergrad projects (mostly in VB and VC) is here.

Acknowledgments:
Initial design of this homepage started by taking Meghan's homepage as a template (it looked like hers was the simplest homepage I had ever seen at that time and I like simple but effective things). During the course of time, as I kept updating it, it changed a lot. Now, I am told that unless otherwise mentioned explicitly, this page has no resemblance with its initial template; thus, I am saved from being accused of plagiarism :) The UBC CLF was inspired by Mike Feeley's course homepages & I got permission from UBC for using it. Some other ideas like the calendar etc are borrowed from my supervisor's homepage. Rest of everything else is pretty much my own stuff (honest !!). If you are interested in designing neat simple webpages, some examples are Alfred's Page, Nels' Page, Mike's page, Dave's page among many others.
