I'm an engineer with customer focus
I used to refrain from commenting on my employer until now. But I just can’t help mentioning the customer focus we maintain in the way we work. For a while, I was worried about all those Amazon reviews on QuickBooks 2010. And see how Intuit has responded :)

Fruits of my PR efforts
India Today published a small write-up with a picture in the Radar section of its June 29, 2009 edition that is a summary of a news release I sent to them. (Here is the online version.) Fruits of my first effort in PR! I’m grateful to a lot of people who shared their contacts and tips, although this is a small piece of published news. One small step at a time!
