Vasudev Ram

I'm an independent software developer / writer / trainer with lots of experience in many different software areas, including a heavy amount on open source in general and Linux/UNIX and many associated technologies (different languages, databases, servers, etc.) that run on top of those operating systems, in particular. I'm the author of the xtopdf toolkit - http://www.dancingbison.com/products.html - which is a set of tools for end users, as well as a library for developers, for quick and easy PDF creation from other file formats. I'm an invited member of the TechDirt Insight Community - http://www.techdirt.com/insightcommunity.php. Have worked for a leading American software product company - Veritas Software (now part of Symantec) - and for a leading Indian software services company - Infosys Technologies - in both development and project management roles.
