Praveen A.

I am a Senior Software Developer and Software Architect with more than 25 years of experience in designing, developing, maintaining, and modernizing business applications built on Microsoft technologies. My expertise spans the complete lifecycle of desktop application development, from legacy Visual Basic 6 systems to modern C#/.NET applications. I specialize in helping organizations preserve their existing business processes while upgrading their software to modern, maintainable, and secure platforms. Over the past 25+ years, I have worked on payroll systems, accounting applications, cooperative society management systems, employee management software, educational institution applications, reporting solutions, and database-driven business software. I understand both the technical and business aspects of legacy applications, allowing me to migrate software without disrupting day-to-day operations.
