It's me! Tony M John
Background
Born into a middle class family with two sisters and one brother. Growing up in Malayattoor was fun. It's a small village with lakes, river and mountains, which makes Kerala The Gods own Country.
This was a memorable part of growing up since one could fish in the lakes and swim in the river. In this small village we had only one school named St.Thomas High School but always called as 'THE SCHOOL'. Every
one who had an opportunity to study, went there and probably that is why everyone knew each other.
Initially I wanted to be an agriculturist, which was the means for the daily bread of most of our villagers. Moreover, I just Love it. But I decided to select the traditional profession of our family : Teaching.
Completed B.Ed from Kerala University Teacher Education Centre, located at the Alapuzha [The most beautiful place of Kerala and is famous for boat race and it's backwaters].
After B.Ed, had a second thought about teaching. And I reached Kongu Engineering College, Erode for MCA. Three years of Engineering changed my life.
The last few years were crucial in my life. I was going from knowing everybody to knowing nobody, from the world of soft
feelings to the world of softwares, and from the world of men to the world of machines!!
And all these make me NOSTALGIC......

Professional background
I was selected to SRA Systems Ltd, Chennai through campus interview by end of my MCA. Joined as a project trainee in SRA on December, 1996.
During my career in SRA, I got the opportunity to work with their sister
company 'Software Systems & Solutions' in USA for around 2 years on projects with their various clients like HomeDepot, BroadVision, Bank Of America etc, in Atlanta .
I left SRA Systems in February 2003 and joined Digital Globalsoft, Bangalore (A Hewlett Packard company). Immediately after joining Digital, I moved to one of the clients of Digital in USA, with the responsibility of co-ordinating the offshore development activities.
My interests
Web development is my favorite hobby, after farming & agriculture. By the way, I am the founder of the leading Kerala portal
www.SpiderKerala.com. It was started as a small project, but now it has grown to one of the leading portals of Kerala, with more than 10,000 page views per day. I own several other websites and they are managed by my wife Manju.
During this period, I helped many people to learn .Net technologies. Many guys volunteered to be part of the re-development of my portal - www.spiderkerala.com using ASP.Net and web services. I am very happy that most of them became .Net experts and got good jobs in this new technology. Due to lack of time, I am not in a
position to help those who call me daily asking for help in learning .Net.
My Future Plans
My own Business! Thats everybody's dream, right? But making it a reality requires more than just dreaming. If I can start a web site from zero and make it one of the most admired web sites of Kerala, I can very well prove my strength in owning a software development company. It cannot be too far... Just watch for that!
