Why did you join ThoughtWorks?

This has been my first job right out of college. Joined ThoughtWorks for no specific reason. Hadn’t even heard of it. Was as clueless as any other grad. Now, I think it’s one of the best things that has happened to me.

What did you think on your first day?

Why am I dressed so out of place? (I mean formally ☺)

What has your career path been at ThoughtWorks?

I’ve been a developer since I joined ThoughtWorks

What do you love to hate about ThoughtWorks?

Nothing

If you went to ThoughtWorks University, tell us what you loved about it.

One of the best times in ThoughtWorks. Fun times, awesome trainers, my first ‘real’ introduction to OOPs, awesome batch mates and now friends from different parts of the world, getting used to different accents, awesome Leela Palace food, (especially desserts), lots of interactive learning sessions, my first laptop experience and some nice outings/parties. All of the above for almost 4-6 weeks.

What's your favourite ThoughtWorks moment?

University, better known as BootCamp, in those days! But one of the very first memorable experiences was, even before joining when ThoughtWorks had come to our college campus and all of the interviewees were given feedback. I’d never seen something like that before.

Who would play you in "ThoughtWorks: The Movie?"

I, Me, Myself

About me

I have had quite a few interests (sports, painting, physics, bio, kite flying, point and shoot photography, etc.) and they have been changing as the years passed by, but I think ThoughtWorks has been able to keep my ‘interest for coding’ as passionate for 6+ years now; different technologies being used to solve all kinds of problems that can bring about change.
