Got wired and going wireless

I guess this has been the longest gap between two postings in my blog. I switched companies and it took quite some time to settle down. All these days, it was tough to stay offline from the connected world. It was very difficult than that I had imagined earlier. I am now breathing back after getting wired to the connected world of internet.

And thanks to all those guys who had visited my blog and had asked if I was alive or not. Thanks for constantly checking my space. To all of you guys here is the update.

I have moved to Cognizant, a company which works on offshore-onsite model and which exercises on the services space. And I consider myself still lucky to stay attached to the telecom domain as most of the work that I have been associated with has been in the same domain.

This time around, I am going wireless. That is, I am getting into the development of embedded Wireless applications for the mobile devices. It is a bigger role and so are the expectations out of it. Wireless application development is a cool thing but can become a pain when ported onto devices. I just hope all the prior experience with J2ME and Qualcomm BREW comes in handy.

The sense of ownership and the freedom to innovate at work are the few good feelings that I have already started experiencing at the new place. I have been endowed with the responsibility and at the same time given the freedom to strategically plan and implement a way by which competency can be built on the wireless development arena. I am excited about the assignment and at the same time am aware of the steep mountain to climb. It would definitely be a challenge but a challenge that would give me a first real foretaste of what I am capable in terms of management, planning, scheduling, apart from delivering on the technological front.
