Another milestone in my career - WDC

Time flies...it just slipped my mind. In the past, I always post either a month, 3 months or 6 months checkpoint after I joined a new company. Since the previous was back in my ex company Motorola, I didn't have similar post.

Now days past my 6 months tenure with Western Digital, SSD division(old Sandisk) things get very challenging and exciting. Everyday I have new code to crack. The team is rather green....both in age and experience.

Hope that I can still have similar excitement for years to come. Hope for the best for the company, its global and local leadership and of course for myself.

Oh not to forget to mention, I have made few good friends here.

RE:Hack - Smart Living 24 hour Hackathon

Honestly speaking, I know there's a lot, we developers and engineers can do but I have never imagined myself putting up a somewhat complete solutions in less than 24 hours.

Last December, I joined the RE:Hack - Smart Living 24 hour Hackathon, an event organized by TM with my 2 other colleagues. All these years in the industry, I was apathy towards development beyond my job roles or anything that brings no ROI to the company I worked for but since hackathon is widely talked about in M2, I went ahead and joined the crowd.

1 size fit all...is this right for us?

Came across this video early in the morning by Prince Ea and find it very interesting...so what's your say?

6 months check point

I was scanning over my past posts and decided I need to write this one like how I did in my past positions.

So I just past my 6 months probation in 'M2'. Even before the review session, I knew clearly that I would get over it without any problem looking at my involvement and deliverable so far.

As expected, nothing shocking from my manager. However I was shocked over my own honest remarks during the review session which includes a good mix of good and bad remarks like

Street Photographing with Huawei P9

When I first discovered about this phone, I was reluctant to own one as my previous, Google Nexus 5 was only half the price tag and was working perfectly and in fact way better than many other. However after giving it a thorough comparison between the successor version, Nexus 6 and P9, I am in favour of the P9. Both are manufactured by Huawei and carries premium specifications with 1 or 2 items which I can criticize on.

Goodbye Google Nexus 5

Hello Huawei P9
