About
I am an Entrepreneur from Kolkata, India, and recently opened a Animation and game Development Company in the name and style as Virtual Information & Communications (VIC www.virtualinfocom.com ).
My involvement with software engineering began in 1996 when I took up basic programming as a hobby. Throughout the next three years this developed into a fascination with both electronics and software development.

I began programming in late 1994 with BASIC, before progressing rapidly to C and C++ in early 1995 for DOS application development, then onto 32-bit development under Windows. I moved to RAD with Borland's C++ Builder (essentially Delphi for C++) in 1998. In 1997 I became involved in Internet technologies, progressing to dynamic, database-driven websites.In 2000 as I am an Artist I turned into the field of animations and late 2001 I became a Game Developer and Simulation Engineer.
A combination of industrial experience and my degree has allowed me to work with a variety of technologies and develop software with a range of complexities and characteristics, from medium-sized web-based deployments to real-time control and embedded systems.
I believe that more than just technical skill is required in the Computing industry so ensured I would have a basic knowledge of business processes and media concepts, which are vital to make technology work with a business rather than against it.
