About me
I began developing my first commercial web projects in 2005, right after completing my post-graduation. Even though it started as a small university assignment, my passion for technology had taken root long before that. I discovered the internet at age 15, around the same time I learned to use floppy disks, CDs, and write simple programs in BASIC and FORTRAN languages on my schoolās DOS computers. A few years later, my uncle opened a cyber cafĆ©, and I spent countless summer hours there with my older cousināwatching people explore the internet, playing early PC games, and digging into how Windows worked behind the scenes. But what fascinated me most was the ability to connect with people around the world through AOL Messenger and Yahoo chat rooms, even with my then-broken English. Seeing conversations and activities happening live on the screen felt magical. Those early experiences showed me the power of computers and the internet, and without a doubt, they shaped my curiosity and passion for building technology from that point onward.
In addition to my passion for computer technology, I also earned state-level recognition for a physics-instrument I developed during my academic years. Beyond academics, Iām an avid singer and have won several regional awardsādespite having no formal training.
My Beginnings in Programming š„ļø
In 2000, I entered university and chose Computer Science as my major. During the very first semester, we were assigned an integrated project, and I immediately knew I wanted to focus on programming. I learned Pascal, explored COBOL, and experimented with C++, even though no one on my team had prior programming experience. Despite the challenges, we worked together, learned step by step, and ultimately delivered a functional demo of a Water Tank Overloading Indicator and Shutoff System. That moment was transformative for meāI realized I could use computer programming to control real-world systems. Without knowing it, I had essentially created an early form of what we now call IoT. The project also made me understand the depth of knowledge, effort, and dedication required to build technology that truly works. It was difficult, but it cemented my passion for solving problems through code.
As I began my post-graduation in Electronics and Communications, I was introduced to the powerful intersection of computer technology, communication systems, and embedded engineering. This allowed me to work on real-world projects using assembly programming on the 8051 microcontroller, deepening my understanding of how hardware and software come together. During this time, I strengthened my skills in C and C++ for system-level programming, and also learned Java, through which I developed my major projectāa live video chat applicationāback in 2007, long before video calling became mainstream.
The Corporate World š
After completing my post-graduation, I continued advancing my programming skills, earning a Java 2 certification from IBM while working evening shifts as a Search Content Analyst at Webdunia in Indore. A few months later, through a connection from my professor, I was recruited by a small startup in Mumbai. This was a life-changing milestone that taught me invaluable lessons about corporate work culture, technology integration, business ethics, compliance, and professional communication.
Although the role required me to shift from Java to the .NET Framework with C# as my primary programming language, the transition proved pivotalāit marked the beginning of my journey as a web application developer. Over the years, I worked across multiple organizations, learning diverse technologies and tools that helped both the companies and my own career grow.
During my tenure in India, I had the opportunity to collaborate closely with several U.S. clients, including teams from YMCA and American Express. I was always fascinated by the business processes within large enterprises, much of which remained abstract to the technical teams. That curiosity became reality in 2012, when I had the chance to come to the United States and work directly as a bridge between technical teams and business stakeholders.
Since then, the rest is history. I have continuously adapted to evolving technology trends, and today I architect, design, and develop enterprise-scale, high-performance web applications while engaging with a wide range of stakeholdersāfrom developers to senior business leaders.
Creating Impact with Technology š
In 2022, I noticed that my local non-profit organization needed a better way to reach the community, share their beliefs, and promote their principles of nonviolence. I decided to take the initiative and build a comprehensive website that would help them communicate their mission, engage with people, and raise funds to support their work. Thatās how the website jainsamajofcolorado.org was designed, developed, and launched.
Later, with my interest I also developed an educational static website Swadhyay to read the Jainism literatures.
Seeing the impact of my work for nonprofits, several other organizations reached out to me. As part of my contribution to society, I continue to support and empower them with technology so they can expand their reach and make a meaningful impact.
Whatās Next⦠š
I am also actively working on a personal project involving generative AI. As an AI enthusiast, I strongly believe in its immense potential and future impact. More details will be shared soonāstay tuned!
A Bit More About Me ā
Today, in 2025, I continue working as Technical Architect for Kaier Permanente (via TCS), collaborating with my usual clients and launching projects. I love creating things, experimenting with new ideas. I live with the maker spirit: learning, experimenting, and sometimes causing a bit of chaos. But well, everything is forgiven if thereās music and coffee involved. āš¶
Oh! And Iām an expert at preparing coffee. Seriously, whether itās to start the day or for a creative session, I have the perfect recipe. Iām also pretty good at travel planning, so if you ever need a planner for the US travel āļø, Iām your guy!
Iām Sachin Kumar Jain, and I thank you for reading this.
