Mythili is the tech junkie steering the ship. Known for plunging into hazardous waters – e.g. cricket while in labor and grand canyon hiking in winter – her family is certainly happy to have her heading Koollage, a dramatically “safer” venture. Having worked on many firsts like video-on-demand chips, digital answering machines, and Palm’s wireless OS, Mythili is a whole lot of everything – 100% executive, 100% mom, 100% cook (her record is food for 350 right from her stove), and 200% Koollager! With an unreasonable addiction to Indian junk food, she has graced the halls of IBM’s T.J. Watson Research Center, AT&T Bell Labs, Lucent and Palm – passing on her junk food addiction to Nobel Laureates along the way. Covering a spectrum from fundamental physics to cutting edge mobile internet technologies, she has certainly secured some koolness and has some to spare. So join her as she hits your miniblogging experience clear out of this blogosphere!
Steve, our star developer, is making Koollage the most kickin’ site on the internet. Being a super 'bright' guy, he retreats into his cocoon and is rarely seen during daylight hours - we think that covert laser-eye surgery in Mexico is what got his eyes to see code on all surfaces, at all times. While not programming in ‘blub’, he likes to read up on ‘blub’; and he truly recognizes the undeniable value of creating mobile-based applications for the ever-changing locations of today's roaming bodies - maybe because he is known to have ridden an electric scooter for 4 hours straight (does anyone do that?)! He secretly harbors the desire to write code in the Andaman Islands while catching a BIG wave or two. No time to make the trip yet though. Java is consuming his life – the beans, the bits and the bytes. After stints with Cardiff, Verity, and Autonomy, Koollage is Kooler for having Steve.
Although Geetha has amassed graduate degrees in what would seem like every subject but Computer engineering - no excuse but nerdiness – she has been a closet addict of all things web and does not hesitate to pronounce her devotion to any web developer who will listen. While she is known for striking up odd conversations on totally random topics including contaminated flu vaccines, new SAS procedures, and party systems in developing nations, we keep her around because she has a doctorate in development”: classical dance numbers, web 2.0+ products - she doesn’t discriminate (ok maybe a little because of Koollage)! She LOVES to talk pods and pays homage to Koollage everyday for making her a little hipper. She now wants to share her podding experience with others who are looking to up their Kool Factor by unleashing their blogs and their lives.
Geetanjali seeks perfection, which is probably why she has found her love of QA. With her strong experience in testing web-based applications, Geetanjali is a firecracker - coaching her team on best quality assurance practices 24x7. The trials of testing are made somewhat easier because she can bolt to her beautiful garden in search of serenity. If only we could all avail of this decompression mechanism -- her garden is heavenly! Be it during badminton tournaments, advanced yoga workouts, or as our QA superstar, Geetanjali is always going against the grain and challenging odds. This is why she thrives on writing counterscripts to Koollage, ensuring that we are always better than what we aim to be.
