I am an Indian technical author. To date, I have written and published 65 books focused on commercial application development using various software tools and technologies, and I’m still writing.

Some of my books have been adopted as standard reference material for students who aspire to a degree in Computer Science and Engineering, by M.I.T, Singapore University and a few Indian Universities.

The books I first authored were centered around DBMS with Oracle as the focus product. I’ve spent most of my early commercial application development years working with Oracle. Oracle’s Pl/SQL, has become almost a second language for me.

Please do visit my website and take a quick look at the various books I’ve written and published. I welcome your comments / critique. Do tell me what you liked or disliked about a book on its home page. Frankly, without you I really would not be an author.

I’ve used various front end tools to build forms driven commercial applications using Oracle as the data store of choice. Oracle Developer 2000, Oracle Developer Suite, Java, Visual Basic, Power Builder, ASP .NET, VB .NET, PHP-HTML with Java script and CSS, to name a few of the programming environments I’ve used as a ‘Front End’ for the Oracle data store.

I’ve built various types of commercial applications such as, Financial Accounting, Inventory, HR, ERP, CRM, Banking and more. I’ve spent around 28 years documenting, designing, coding, testing and Bug fixing commercial applications.

Today, I head an custom application and product development house in Mumbai (the commercial hub) of India. This is a job that wakes me up in the morning and makes me want to get to work. Crafting scalable, robust, maintainable and well documented commercial applications using Open Source tools and technologies is the passion that drives me today.

Each day, brings in diverse challenges, sometimes in the crafting of code, often in simply managing people. I’m supported by a great team of men and women who range from programmers to system architects to database schema designers.
