My name is Srinivas, and I completed my Masters in Computer Science
at University of Massachusetts Boston in the spring of 2004. Click here and here to see some pictures from the graduation.
I am basically a fun loving guy, who loves to have a good time. I enjoy traveling, music, reading,
surfing the net, meeting new people, making friends, eating and cooking. I love tinkering with the
computer and learn new things about them. All my friends know I am always trying something new.
At one point I was also working as the System Administrator in the
Unix Labrotary

In the summer of 2003 I got an internship to work at

project was porting an old application done in Paradox into MS Access. While I was working at the Grid,
I made some great friends. Check out Scott's and
John's websites.
During the Fall of 2003 I helped the UMass Web development
team setup a UMass forum and mailing list system. I setup a Debian based secure linux system and
installed phpBB2 for the forum and mailman for the mailing list. I have helped them off and on with other
website development efforts. Joe Peters who heads the group is a really nice guy and has always helped me
with other UMass web projects.
