PURPOSE
Over the years, as a practicing architect initially and in the role of a CTO, I have been coming across several interesting architecture and technology related insights and have tried to share my views through papers, books and blogs.
​
The objective of setting up this blog is to create a forum specifically for practicing technology professionals and architects to discuss technology and software architecture topics and exchange views. I would like to invite you all to post your thoughts and ideas so that we can have interesting discussions and learn through these.
