Sriram Srinivasan
I have finished my PhD at the University of Cambridge (2005-2010). My thesis is:"Kilim: A server framework with lightweight actors, isolation types and zero-copy messaging." [pdf]
For about eighteen years prior to that, I delivered a variety of commercial software, including high performance server and transactional frameworks (WebLogic), wireless sensor systems (Sensys), protocol translators, cargo planning systems (UPS/Fedex), device drivers etc. (Resume (HTML)).
I love travelling, cooking, sketching, reading, sports, watching Arsenal, interests I share happily with Alka, my partner-in-crime since 1991.

Tabla beats learnt from my teacher Tim Witter, himself a student of Pandit Swapan ChaudhuryLasik Eye Surgery:
Hindsight is 20/50. I am one of a small but growing set of people who have have not had a particularly good experience with Lasik. While it has proven to be an extremely successful procedure, it is still an invasive surgery with the potential for something to go wrong. Consult visionsurgeryrehab if you are contemplating lasik.
