                Advice for upcoming professionals  
             
             
           	    Be sharp in whatever technology you work on. Be outgoing,attend as many technical events as possible. Learn from people smarter than you .Be updated on the recent technologies and love what you do.  
             
                     
                Work life Management  
             
             
           	    Come to office on time, minimize distractions,take advantage of the flexibility given in the office. I feel 8 hours are more than sufficient to complete any work as a human can have a maximum of 6 hours of concentration.  
             
                
 
                    Current Role  
                 
            	 
                	 Take care of the whole architecture on which all our products are based out of be it Database management, Server management using AWS, public caching services, public data storage using bigdata, etc.  
                    
                         
                    Changes in professional environment  
                 
            	 
                	 The company has been growing rapidly . We have established at least some defined processes. One team is now divided to 6 different team with different managers. We have upgraded from use of desktop to laptops :)  
                    
                         
                    Your role model  
                 
            	 
                	 Charan Padmaraju. He is the CTO and co-founder of redbus. Working with him gave me all the tips and tricks on how to work in a very dynamic environment. He taught me how to accept challenges by throwing harder and harder technical challenges at me.  
                    
                         
                    The Big Question  
                 
            	 
                	 Not there yet, still lot more to learn :)  
                    
                         
                    Starting Differently Again  
                 
            	 
                	 I will learn more, analyze more and then go to implementation.  
                    
                         
                    The Most Important Game  
                 
            	 
                	 When you are a part of startup, you tend to innovate. And when you do that, you tend to be whacky. There are many instances when I spent days together in the office. I was often associated as the guy with the toothbrush in the office. But perhaps the wackiest thing, work all nights long on redbulls.  
                    
                         
                    Effective decision  
                 
            	 
                	 Joining a start up, not ending up  with a big corporate job.  
                    
                         
                    My Road map ahead  
                 
            	 
                	 In a Start up of course :)  
                    
                         
                    Areas for the Future  
                 
            	 
                	 Java,J2EE,Open source , Scale , Cloud and Big Data  
                    
                         
                    Learning’s/ Knowledge gaining  
                 
            	 
                	 Attended a lot of technical events like barcamp, weekend meetups, GDG, etc. Gathered a lot of new information from senior folks as well as internet.  
                    
                         
                    Additional Certifications  
                 
            	 
                	 If you are strong with what you are doing certifications don't matter.
