Strong technology, programming, analysis, design skills. Have worked for many years as both a developer and a system administrator (UNIX/Linux). This system admin background has improved my strength as a developer as it helps me understand application/database/operating system interactions in a way that other developers who lack this background, cannot. Also enables me to make use of OS system calls/API's as needed, to achieve the project's requirements. Have written open source software (xtopdf) which is used by organizations, and published technical articles for IBM developerWorks, Packt Publishing and Linux For You magazine.

Python sub feed of my blog, at jugad2.blogspot.com/search/label/python , has many Python programming-related posts by me.
