I have joined Cisco Systems, in San Jose and beginning to get settled. The campus is really vast and also my workplace is good. Work pressure is starting on me, but I guess i am liking the pressure. I had a formal round of introduction with my teammates here, The basic work is carried out in Java, jsp, websphere application server and related Java technologies. I am primarily involved in adding and designing application side functionalities to a tool, which is used as a total solution to automate the approval process for special pricing on all sales through distribution. The other side of my work involves in designing and implementing security driver routines for the tool, primarily in C, C++. I have been benefited with my stay in SU, where i got to have a good stint on the security research and also to take excellent object oriented courses under you. I would surely miss having our discussions on the Java domain :), whereby I am back to the domain I am familiar with :). Though my final course COM, really made me sweat during the last few days of mine in SU. I wish most of the students would be graced by your teaching and your guidance. Wish you all the best and pray that you continue to have a good teaching career. Do pay me a visit if by any chance you are here in San Jose, would be more than glad to meet you.\par \par With Regards\par \par Sankara Narayanan\par Cisco Systems Inc\par 3675 Cisco Way\par San Jose CA 95134\par Phone: 408 526 6622\par Fax: 408 526 7499\par \par Ps: attached is my not so good snap :), hope you can manage with that. \par \f1\par }
