Profile

    I'm an independent software developer, consultant specializing in GNU/Linux and web based development. Working hard towards becoming a successful entrepreneur, I see people recognizing me by my work surrounding Kannada.

    I am a sysop and bureaucrat at Kannada Wikipedia, and brought it up as an active editor for a long long time starting from its initial version in September 2004.

    In 2005, I started Sampada, a community of Kannadigas which has become quite well known these days and clocks close to 3 million hits each month.

    I am a dummy member in the Chapters commitee of Wikimedia, rarely active because of my other commitments of present. I had organized with the help of some of my friends, an event for Kannada Wikipedia during April 2005 in Bangalore, India which was widely successful in spreading the word about Kannada Wikipedia. I intend to coordinate Indian Chapter related proceedings this year and have stayed on in this colorful team.

    I'm also the founding member of Sampada Foundation.
