This page describes the work experience of Gorav Singal. Since the year I started working, job changes and startup experiences.
I started working from NEC HCL (now NEC), a japanese company. I got two offers when I started my career. I left higher paying job just because I did not want to work on Java. I chose NEC as I would be working on C/C++, my first love. Although, currently I'm working on Java and left C/C++ since long.
I joined Adobe, India in March 2010. There I worked on a variety of things starting from C++ to Action script. After around 2 years, I switched gears towards enterprise java implementations. I worked mostly on Java, web services, spring. I learned a lot here. I touched lot of technology stacks here.
I worked on a storage product in C++. I got some awesome development work. And I also got a chance to goto Poland. I worked there for around 2.5 years. I worked with some of talented mentors.
