A whole year passed with silence here. But in reality 2007 was not at all a silent year for me. It was a year full of interesting and learning experiences. A year which I’m not gonna forget easily.
A lot has happened. ProCom, NetCom, Softec, PDC 07, MIC, FYP, Graduation and a lot more. With some tough and life changing personal experiences which are simply unforgettable.
In July, just after my graduation, I joined E-Banking dept. of Avanza Solutions as Software Engineer. A good thing about my company is that Avanza is totally focused on developing solutions for banking and it’s been really great to learn about this domain. I’ll write more on my job experience later in separate post. By the way, in few hours, I’ll be leaving for Bahrain for few weeks for a project implementation in Khaleeji Commercial Bank(KHCB). It’s my first site visit so I’m excited! :)
2008 seems a lucky year for me. On the very first day of the year, I got a great news from Microsoft that I’ve been awarded MVP (Microsoft Most Valuable Professional) award as Recognition for my activities in developer communities! It was a great surprising moment! Thanks Microsoft :)
I hope this will be a great start for whole year. There are many things planned to do and I’m really looking forward for a productive year. And unlike 2007, I’ll force myself to update my blog more frequently to prove that I’m a generous Memon :P
Anyways, a happy (belated) new year to everyone!
