About

Hello! I'm Mainak R. Chowdhury, commonly known as RCMainak over the internet. I'm currently working as a Software Developer at ITC Infotech India Ltd. My day to day work involves working with NodeJS, all though I'm keen to learn & love to work with other languages / technologies as well.

Apart from my professional life, I'm a huge supporter of Free & Open Source Software Movement. Contributing to different open source projects is my hobby. My contribution goes mainly to the Mozilla projects, simply because they have the best open source community. Sometimes I wonder around other communities as well.

My field of interest includes but not limited to Dance, Photography(both moving & still), Movies & Gardening. I love to wear jeans, eat tasty Indian foods, listen to podcasts while traveling. Kubuntu is my primary OS. NeoVim is the editor of choice.

Time to time I like to play with hardware & build small things. Often those small initiatives take shape of a full project. Few projects I'm proud of so far,

•    Autonomous Line Follower
  Arduino Uno based project. An autonomous car which follows a line on a surface by collecting information using sensors.
•    Weather Monitoring System
  using a Raspberry Pi & bunch of sensors. This system was designed to monitor temperature, humidity, air pressure & level of green house gases (CO2, CO, CH3 etc.) in the air.
