Freelance Consulting

I've been working as a Java/J2EE consultant for my good friend Asif's company Carinov for close to a month and half now. Although, life has been very very hectic of late, thanks to this project (having to balance a full-time job and working on evenings and weekends on Asif's prject is a huuuuuuuuuuuge energy zapper!), I must confess - I thoroughly loved every minute of it!
My team - although it consisted of freshers w.r.t Java - was really kick ass. They learnt everything they had to in order to do a great job in the project.
If I someday start an organization, these are the guys I would hire straight away (assuming they're interested in joining my firm i.e.).

Also, to add on, the role I played at Carinov was pretty much of Project Manager, and this has been an excellent learning experience per se for me. I learnt a lot of things related to project planning, effort estimation, team spirit building, work/tasks delegation, reports/metrics generation, etc etc etc.
This is something that, I am sure, my current organization won't be able to provide anytime in the near future!


Thanks a zillion for everything Asif. I owe you one big time!!!

I hope we can engage for future projects as well!!! And in the meanwhile - wishing you all the very best for your future endeavours!
