Who are you?

Hello Aashish,

   thanks for joining us. Your friends and colleagues are welcome to join the discussion as well. By the way how did you find us and are you interested in, or associated with EMC's Proven Professional certification program in your role as a Documentum consultant? Looking forward to interesting conversations.

CK - community manager

Hey Charles,

Its pleasure joining you guys.... The theme is something like this.."Wherever the ECM and EMC forums are, you will find Ashish there ..." I have worked as EMC Consultant for an assignment in Sydney and would love to do more assigmnments like that... I am very much interested in this program...Infact I enrolled for the test to promote the culture of being EMC certfied (in my team) and later came to know that this test in not available even in Pearson Vue centres in my city .

Till now Documentum is my favourite ECM system and I used to promote it a lot personally.

Well, I landed to this community and thread from Julie's post (Julie Gibson) i guess.

It is very late here in Inida and I want to complete my understanding on CMIS (I hope you have heard about this initiative from various ECM vendors)

And its a long weekend also here in India so catch you next week and ofcourse we will have some interesting discussions.

Kind Regards,

Ashish Srivastava

Hi Gina,

Thanks for the clarifications, now I feel at home in this community

Will catch you guys soon on various threads..

Have a nice weekend.

Kind Regards,

Ashish Srivastava

Ok, here we go:

1. I live in Massachusetts, and I work for Ed Services, out of either the Franklin office, the Bedford office, or my home office.
2. My technical strengths are: *nix, information security, TCP/IP techologies (switching, routing, etc.), HTTP, HTML, etc. etc. I've been in the industry for quite a while Soft(er) skills are instructional design and training (CTT+ physical classroom).
3. I won a trophy in the unrated division in a chess tournament once.

Nope, no potato. Just a bunch of ice to numb my lobe. The funnier thing was when I saw my mother the next day (who is a jewlery dealer). She made sure I had something a little more appropriate in my ear that day.

1. I'm another one of those people working in Franklin.
2. UNIX, Windows, Symmetrix, CLARiiON, Storage Management, Business Continuance products, the list could go on and on...
3. Didn't I just do a list of 25 things on Facebook? - How about: I got my ear pierced while I was in college, it was done with my then girlfriends pearl earring.

Brian, I used to pierce ears in my younger days; did she use a potato behind your ear?

So, based on all these responses, some themes emerge among EMC Professionals and those who support them:

Musical:

Singing

Ballet

violin

Guitar

Bass

Travel:

Fiji, New Zealand, Australia

Disney

Past lives:

And, who the heck knows what this is:

Computational Magnetohydrodynamics

Quite the diverse group!

I'm an SA - work for TME and live in NJ

I'm EMCie in NAS, Clariion and now RecoverPoint

I play bass in The Incinerators (www.theincinerators.com)

Hi,

1. Originally from Manchester, I work out of the Brentford office, SW London.

2. Originally worked as a Software Engineer for 9 years, specializing in data conversion and data porting. Then worked for 9 years as a Technical Instructor for Sun Microsystems (Storage and HA Cluster). Joined EMC 3 years ago as a Technical Instructor in the SAN space. I also deliver Invista and RecoverPoint training and also ISM (formerly STF) from the Storage Technologist track. MSc in Computer Science. Been using UNIX for 21 years, only started using Windows when I joined EMC.

3. Enjoy hiking, having worked as a guide in the English Lake District (those great long summer vacations at Uni).

Hello and welcome to the Proven community,

I enjoy my visits to Brentford and would like to visit the lake district. We would love to hear from others in the Education group who participate in learning and development. (Bob Henshaw has an intereting hobby that people would enjoy learning about...! 

Again, thanks for your participation.

Thanks Chris.

If you ever need to know about good hikes in the Lakes, let me know. Bob is my Manager, now I'm curious about the hobby!

Cheers!

Not a problem!  It's late in the UK this time of day.

Sorry... of course I meant Charles... I had just finished talking to an engineer called Chris !!!

1. I, too, am part of the Franklin Education Services crew.  I live up near Lowell, MA.  Although I've been in Massachusetts now for 30+ years, I still think of myself as a New York City kid -- raised and went to college there.
2. My technical strengths are in training/education evaluation and assessment as well as in sudoko and crossword puzzles.
3. Among things people don't typically know about me is that I directed a very off- off- off-broadway puppet production of the Little Prince, that a former middleweight boxing champion was once one of my students, and that I spent several years in West Africa helping to eradicate smallpox.
