About

Hi, I’m Elroy Serrao. I am a technologist, photographer and part-time blogger from Mumbai.
I began by helping build large scale J2EE applications that helped run things at firms like this. Over the years, I have also developed an interest in economics, statistics, business, product design and user experience design. Nowadays, I am looking to move into the field of product management and business analysis with an emphasis on software products and the Information Technology sector. I think the field offers a great opportunity to indulge in a number of disciplines and bring out a product that really shines or help a business achieve its technology goals.
On the side, I do some projects of my own, largely playing around with Rails, Flash, Matlab and Java. Most of these projects are small snippets of code, scripts, small applications that I use etc. From time to time I share these on the Labs section as well.
Besides programming, dabbling in neural networks, decision science and other arcane stuff, I also enjoy reading a good book on a rainy Sunday afternoon. I also love to fool around with my old Olympus C765, taking pictures whenever I can. I also love to paint, watch some good theater, enjoy the occasional popcorn flick and spot the rare bird. Another great hobby of mine is to hike, trek…just basically head some where green and hilly and start walking . Kinda lets me connect to nature I guess.
But that’s enough about me for now, so get back to reading the blog.
Note for the curious – what the title tagline means ?
The title tagline “mobilis in mobili” is from Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues under the sea. It’s Captain Nemo’s motto and loosely translated it means “Changing with Change”. (Other translations make it to be “Moveable in a moveable element”, but I kinda prefer this one ).
