Expertise
I hope to be of help to youngsters with general science concepts and may be problems they find hard to understand or solve. (I would love it if it was NOT all classwork handed out to me under the guise of questions though!). I have been reasonably successful doing that earlier, but chiefly i love this kind of thing.
Experience
Was an expert in the General science topic at Askme.com just before it went on ti become a professional paysite. Have always excelled at school and college in this field.
Education/Credentials
1 - Bachelor Of Enhineering (Electrical) from Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Faculty of Tech. & Engg.
2 - Radiological Safety officer, BARC, Bombay
3 - ISO Internal Auditor
Past/Present Clients
I fail to understand "client" here.
1 - If askme can qualify as a previous "client", well then that was one name.
2 - By the same token This site (astronomy) is the current one!
Else my work is all related to the world of programming and manufacturing (maintenance).
I have been Sr.Manager (electrical &electronics maint.) for a plant manufacturing biaxially oriented polypropylene sheet for some years, located west coast of india.
(where i did some original data acquisition and control work on nuclear Beta-ray non-contact thickness gauges).
In my programming career I have worked for Dell Computers (asia pacific, Penang, Malaysia) to name but one important name!
