Manoj Kumar Sharma

Having put in over 25 years of experience in the Software Development Industry, I have worked on most enterprise development technologies - right from Punch-Card Programming to Microsoft .NET. However, for past 19+ years now, I have been focusing most of my time on .NET development technologies, specializing in Web and Cloud Development Architectures.

I started my career as a Junior Punch-Card Programmer and upgraded to Assembly, COBOL, C, dBase, Foxplus, C++ and then, worked my way up on various versions of Clipper & Visual Basic for nearly 6 years, in parallel with HTML and ASP, before finally getting on to .NET, roughly 19 years back, during my 4 year stint in the USA.

In the last 19+ years or so, I have worked as a Systems Analyst/Project Lead, working my way up to the post of Chief Solutions Architect with specialization in the e-Commerce and HR Services Domain, focusing on Website/Portal Development, Hosting and Web Application Development technologies. I returned back to India in early 2006, and have been freelancing most of the time. I did put in over 7 years as the Chief Software Architect at ADP India Private Limited.
