Asif embarked on his programming journey back in 1991 when he first encountered 80286 8-16 MHz systems. His programming repertoire began with dBase III+, FoxPro, C, and assembly language, where he honed exceptional skills that have been a cornerstone of his development career.

Over the years, Asif's programming saga has seen him delve into a wide array of technologies and languages, ranging from C++, VC++, Java, Delphi, RPG400, SQL Server, and Oracle, to name just a few. His insatiable curiosity continues to lead him towards newer horizons, such as DOT Net Technologies, SOA architectures, BI, DSL, and beyond. These learning experiences are underscored by a robust theoretical foundation, with a penchant for research.

Beyond the realm of technology, Asif's interests include delving into the pages of fiction, exploring biotechnology, and gazing at the wonders of Astronomy. He finds joy in watching movies, and during his free time, he delights in quality moments spent with his children.

I am in the process of morphing from a software developer into a portrayer of Mark Twain. My monologue (or one-man play, entitled "The Adventures of Mark Twain: As Told By Himself" and set in 1896) features Twain giving an overview of his life up till then. The performance includes the relating of interesting experiences and humorous anecdotes from Twain's boyhood and youth, his time as a riverboat pilot, his wild and woolly adventures in the Territory of Nevada and California, and experiences as a writer and world traveler, including recollections of meetings with many of the famous and powerful of the 19th century - royalty, business magnates, fellow authors, as well as intimate glimpses into his home life (his parents, siblings, wife, and children).

Peripatetic and picaresque, I have lived in eight states; specifically, besides my native California (where I was born and where I now again reside) in chronological order: New York, Montana, Alaska, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Idaho, and Missouri.

I am also a writer of both fiction (for which I use a nom de plume, "Blackbird Crow Raven", as a nod to my Native American heritage - I am "½ Cowboy, ½ Indian") and nonfiction, including a two-volume social and cultural history of the U.S. which covers important events from 1620-2006: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/blackbirdcraven
