Nerdworks Blogorama

This blog is maintained by a self-proclaimed nerd working for Microsoft Corporation. He works there as a software developer building fun open source stuff. He thinks he's really lucky to be paid for what he would probably anyway do for free. Or something.

He is known in the real world as Rajasekharan Vengalil - a name that just rolls off the tongue really easily. If you're the lazy sort, then you may want to call him Raj. Some people insist on knowing what he looks like. So here's the least terror inducing picture that he can find of himself. If this looks like a passport picture, that's because it is:

He tweets occasionally here: @avranju.

His open source stuff is up on Github here: github.com/avranju

Here are a few of the articles he's written:

• Writing a Sensor Driver for the Wiimote on Windows 7
• Self Deleting Executables
• Switching threads

He often sometimes delivers talks during technology conferences. You can see some of them up on YouTube.
