Ashish Patel

Now that I’m a working man and the old days of university are over (at least for now), I wanted to document some of my most interesting projects on my website. I’m doing this for several reasons:

1. I don’t ever want to forget about what the ambitious projects I undertook.
2. I want people in the real world to see me for more than a typical software developer and entreprenuer.
3. For people who casually surf over to this website to feel free to contact me and share their thoughts.

I haven’t gotten around to posting all the interesting projects I’ve worked on, but there are a few up already. You can navigate to the projects list using the “Projects” menu item on my website.

If you wish to e-mail me your comments, I’d be very interested to receive them. Please send questions and comments to patel.ashish@gmail.com (patel dot ashish at gmail dot com)

Full page advertisement in InformationWeek!

Some interesting news that came across the office a few weeks ago was that our product, the IBM Performance Optimization Toolkit (IPOT), got a full page advertisment in the November issue of Information Week!

The advertisement follows IBM’s marketing concept of having “boxers” faced with challenging “oppontents” (ie problems) in a boxing match.

You can check out the ad on the InformationWeek website. Click on the November 28th issue and navigate to Page 2. On the IBM Websphere advertisement, there is a triangle in the right bottom, click on it and then you will see the “IBM Rational and Tivoli” advertisement. IPOT is mentioned as a special guest as “Rational Performance Tester and Tivoli Monitoring for Transaction Performance”. IPOT is the “gluecode” between these two IBM heavy weights.
