May 2006 - PresentI'm presently a part of
tenCube Pte. Ltd., a Singapore based technology startup, pioneering in
mobile security software. I must admit that the joy in building a product from scratch, and seeing it out there in the world is beyond what words can ever explain!
My job responsibilities include - development (C# & ASP.NET mostly), project management, overseeing general operations, and regularly clearing out the trash...
April 2004 - April 2006I started my first full time work at
Buildfolio Technologies Pte. Ltd., a startup based in the Silicon Valley, which provided Facilities & Asset management enterprise solutions. In Buildfolio, I worked on various projects, which included:
To my fortune, my job required me to travel for requirements gathering, deployment, UAT and user Training. I visited Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Putrajaya and Kuching (Sarawak) during my tenure at Buildfolio.
June 2000 - April 2004I flew down to Singapore on June 28, 2000 to join
National University of Singapore (NUS). When I came down to NUS, I realized that the course I was being offered was a degree was not an Engineering course, but
Computer Science course from the
School of Computing. I graduated with Honours in April 2004. In many ways, it was a pretty good decision!
In the hindsight, I often feel that I should have studied more during my years in the University. Resources were plentiful, and yet, I didn't make much use of it. I did learn a lot of things which may not be academic, but they have made me the person I am today.
The peak of my study in NUS comprised of two projects that I did for the
Communications and Internet Research Lab (CIR):
I lived on campus for my first three years in a hostel called the
King Edward VII Hall. In my first year, I had a double room in Block C - 307. In my second and third year, I stayed in Block G - 405.
KE7 was full of charming people from all over the place. That made participating in hall activities a whole lot more fun. In my first two years, I was part of the publicity team for the Hall Play (Dancing about Architecture), the Block Committee (G Block), Windbreaker Committee (designed the logo at the back), Hockey, Table Tennis, Taekwondo, Comics Team, etc.
In m third year, I joined a few university level activities:
- SOIS : Society of Indian Scholars, Singapore [Archive]
- In 2002-03, I joined as the IT secretary, and redid the SOIS website (which has been taken down for another revamp).
- In 203-04, I was elected the Vice President of the organization. My responsibilities included organizing the festival celebrations, and overseeing the execution of the NUS play Kathputli (Blame Game)
- Indian Instrumental Ensemble, Center for the Arts, NUS (IIE)
- From 2002 onwards, I have been part of the Hindustani Vocals group in the IIE. I have been taking part in the annual showcase Bharat Culture since then.
IIE truly is one of my most favourite activities. Its the music, the people, the charm, and the purpose that makes IIE so special to me.
- School of Computing Corporate Communications (SCC)
- In 2003, I joined SCC. I was in charge of showcasing technology and media at the SoC booth a the NUS Open House (Fiesta 2003). I must say it was nice talking the president of Singapore. I was showing him an HP tablet PC, which was about to hit the mass market later that year. He told me that his wife spoke Bengali, and we exchanged a few Bengali words.
- Wireless Java Jam Competition
May 1998 - June 2000I did a diploma in International Baccalaureate from St. Mary's International School, Tokyo. This was the time when I did most of my
artwork.

ready to go to the art class. It used to be a small gathering of kids from 8-10. I guess it was the only phase of my life when I did not oversleep on Sundays!

A thought I am, lost beyond horizons. A soul I am, living
on hope. A blink I am, in the river of eternity. A wonderer I am, wondering why
I wonder. ~ Indradeep .a.k.a. Tito
