About

Hi
Abdul Qabiz
Thanks for showing interest to know more about me.

My name is Abdul Qabiz (handle: abdulqabiz) and I live in Kanpur, India. This is my personal blog and I write about a lot of things, though main focus is on technology most of time but a lot things from different areas (entrepreneurship, business, etc) also show up time to time.

During my free time, I am either reading or writing – blog posts, replies to various emails in mailing-lists. I am very active on twitter. I also manage Flex India online-group. Please check out the right-sidebar to see different ways to connect to me.

Background:

I am a passionate self-taught computer programmer and have many years’ experience in software development, specifically Adobe Flash Platform (flash, flex, air, flashlite) and web-technologies.

I am CTO of Allies Interactive Services, where I am trying to use all my experience and potential to build a great team, culture, process, practices and products. I see myself working with a team which full of passion and innovation.

Earlier, I worked for Yahoo!, where I had an opportunity to work on some platform components and Yahoo! Avatars, it was great experience to be among the best developers and to work on some of cool products/services.

I was also fortunate enough to work in a cool startup “Mixercast“, where I had an opportunity and freedom to learn and contribute in different ways: platform-architecture, implementation of best flash-platform practices, startup-culture, venture-capital, building syndication engine based on standards like RSS(MediaRSS), suggesting/implementing new ideas and lot more.

I would say, working in a startup or in a startup like culture is a great experience, I would love to do it again and again.

Most of my dreams have come true, one of those was working for Macromedia(now Adobe). It was a dream company for any passionate flash developer, I was no different. I ended up working here among the initial team in Macromedia Bangalore. I was part of Flex SDK team and contributed in two releases of Flex: 1.5 and 2.0.

At Macromedia (now Adobe), I made very good friends and learned many professional and personal things, which help me everyday now. Totally great experience.

In my current role as full time entrepreneur, I am still a developer from heart but my experience over the years helps me learn new things and deal with challenges everyday.

As a programmer, I always believed – A good programmer always writes good code by making right choices and decisions. I want to solve complex problem with simplicity and work on applications, which provide great experience to users. To do that, I am up for doing whatever it takes.

My Specialties are:

Web technologies, web strategy, internet, rich internet application (RIA), Adobe Flash Platform (Flash, Flex, AIR, FlashLite and ActionScript), web/online video strategy and implementation, software architecture, entrepreneurship, open-source, development process, startups, social media, branding and identity

ActionScript, Flash, Flex, AIR, FlashLite, JavaScript, PHP, Symfony, HTML, CSS, HTTP, CMS, CRM, Blogging, OpenSocial, Mashups, RIAs, Web Applications, Version Control Systems

      There is job for good developers/designers everywhere. I am sure, Pune have many companies which want smart and passionate people for their team.

      If you were around Kanpur, I would have discussed the positions in our company.
