Software Product Development

Tarun Upadhyay   //  Tarun is still just flatly amazed by the power of the Internet, its ability to level the field and help the little guy compete with the biggest organizations.

Those little guy success stories are what drags him to work every morning and he lives a small part of that little guy's dream working for hCentive.

Prior to co-founding hCentive, Tarun served as a co-founder and CTO for GlobalLogic - an outsourcing service provider for large, complex products and software - which grew from 0 to 400 engineers while he was the CTO.

Prior to Globallogic, he was co-founder and CTO of Pinelabs - an India-based provider of Loyalty and Payment solutions using Smart Cards. While Tarun was CTO, Pinelabs grew from a drawing board idea to a suite of successful products running at many fortune 500 companies handling millions of credit card transactions per day.

Tarun holds an M.S in Mathematics and Computer Applications from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India.

weekend "reading": amazon design philosophy

by tarun upadhyay
http://www.uie.com/brainsparks/2009/06/01/presentation-revealing-design-treasures-from-the-amazon/ This is an excellent presentation about how amazon designs their website. You need about 60 minutes to go thru the whole thing but I suggest you give it a try nonetheless. This is not about "design" in the sense of which font to use or "design" in the sense of how many tiers in my web stack but "design" in the sense of what are the most important principles you need to follow. Good reading for anybody building a website (consumer or otherwise) or almost any software or community.
