Aslam Khan’s Summary
I have spent almost half my life as a software development architect, and am still trying really hard to write great software ... those applications that won't follow me to my grave.
There are so many brilliant people from whom I am have the had the priveledge to learn. And as soon as I think I have grokked something, then I feel that I am socially outcast from another stream that is happening right alongside me with some amazing architectural insights and philosophies.
Is there any other industry that is so dynamic and yet exhibits a range as vast as creativity, philosophy, engineering, science, social behaviour and the single focus on achieving self realisation?
You just have to love this game ... code is the truth and the truth will set you free :-)
Aslam Khan’s Specialties:
- Software architecture - the "if-you-draw-it-you-better-know-how-to-build-it" kind of architecture.
- Coaching budding software architects
- Having fun while writing software
