Hello, World!

My name is Sumit Kar. I am a Computer engineer fascinated by the web and IoT based technologies. I have deep knowledge of the several web layers and the interaction between all of them. Capable of shipping creative and optimal solutions according to the requirements. I am a firm believer in Clean Code and Agile methodologies.

Other than coding I like, Graphic Designing, Photography and Communicating with people. I spend my day reading Technology Magazine and play around with new Apps and Gadgets. I also love to capture images from day to day life and try to render them immortal. I love to Promote Kolkata, Bengal and the rich Bengali culture to the entire world.

My career began in Kolkata when I joined Novatree as an Intern Software developer. Then I got an opportunity to work with Broadsoft, and I moved to Chennai. Later the company got acquired by Cisco where I am presently working.

I like playing with Programming Codes. I am always learning from things around me. I want to make things that make a difference!
