Hey all, I’m Sameer Parwani a web developer from Massachusetts. I aim to use this blog to contribute to the tech community with my own thoughts, tips, insights, and so on. Hopefully, I’ll soon get to making the blog more customized, but for now I’m using this simple nice theme from the guys over at Blog2life.
I graduated from Cornell University in 2005 with a Bachelors of Science (Computer Science). After graduating, I worked for a year and a half in Information Security consulting for PricewaterhouseCoopers.
While still in college, I founded the popular RateDesi.com and RateHispanic.com websites which are 2003 era social networks from the time when the word “social network” did not exist.
I left PwC to form my own company Tysam Networks to develop social networks. The software created by Tysam Networks was purchased by EQAL, a startup with investors such as Spark Capital, Conrad Riggs, Ron Conway, Marc Andreessen and Georges Harik. Since then I’ve also freelanced for EQAL working on HarpersGlobe.com as well other projects.
I am currently available for freelance projects. I specialize in building scalable websites on the LAMP stack. I have been developing in PHP for the last six years and have extensive experience in the design, tuning, and optimization of databases.
Browse my my portfolio to see screenshots and descriptions of sites I’ve built.
