About Me

Arnab Deka is a 20-something, a guy-next-door living in Seattle, WA.

Arnab Deka

Arnab is currently working with Amazon.com as a Software Developer. He loves playing cricket and becomes a couch potato around major sporting events (which happens to be almost through the year now). When he’s not watching some sports and his manager allows him some time (joking, Bill) he loves to travel to new places and capture them in his photos.

He graduated from REC, Calicut (now National Institute of Technology, Calicut) in 2004 and started working for Infosys Technologies. After working around 3 years at Pune, Bangalore and NYC he moved to Seattle to work for Amazon.com.

In his day-job he is usually working with Ruby and Ruby on Rails. He is familiar with Java (and the related world). In his previous life he also tasted C/C++, some MS technologies (like VB, ASP, COM) – making him appreciate Ruby so much more now :-)

Arnab is a technology lover at heart, although probably not a qualified geek yet! Lately, around the last year or so, he has found the joyous world of Open Source and is getting totally immersed in it (you know, Ubuntu, vim, git, Ruby On Rails, jQuery…)

    Nah – wordpress i free software. It comes in two flavors – you can host your blog on wordpress.com or you can get the wordpress.org softwar and host/manage it yourself.

    I have my site’s domain (www.arnab-deka.com) registered, use a http://bluehost.com host (a Linux box basically) for this site and some other experiments and manage wordpress on it (with MySQL DBs etc.)

    http://wordpress.org/
    http://bluehost.com/
