I have been a serial entrepreneur in telecom and social media space for past 12 years or so. I hold a M.S. degree in Telecommunication Engineering from the George Washington University and a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland. I’ve lived and worked in many countries and cities including London England, Tehran Iran, Bonn Germany, Paris France, Alicante Spain, Delhi India, and my favorite of all Washington, DC of great US of A. Two of the greatest Washington, DC based companies I worked for and very proud of are Yurie Systems which was sold to Lucent in 1998 and telezoo.com that I founded in 1999.

I now run awesomize.me – your first stop before any connection online. The site, launched in Nov 2010, is the new social media portal to help both the users and the corporate to manage their brand and reputation leveraging the power of community.
