About Vikram Madan 

Vikram's Blog

[ If you've been browsing this site then you already know more about Vikram than you probably ever wanted to know... :)  ]

Vikram was born and raised in India, where he discovered his inner creative self at a very early age (though most of his childhood masterpieces are lost to the margins of the classroom notebooks of time). Unfortunately he also demonstrated an early talent for the sciences, which led to a formal education heavily weighted towards the left side of the brain, rather than the right, resulting in a life-long yin-yang conflict between his creative and logical selves.

Vikram considers himself to be a life-long learner. Thanks to his passion for learning and persistence, he is a self-taught artist, aspiring poet, tone-deaf musician, and competent programmer. He has worn many hats in his career, including Award-Winning Editorial Cartoonist, Biomedical Researcher (Voltammetric Electrochemistry anyone:)?), Editor, Game Programmer, and Software Engineer. His cartoons, humorous essays, illustrations, and poetry have appeared in many magazines and newspapers in both India and the US.

Vikram currently lives in a Seattle suburb with his family, where they spend the summers hiking and traveling, and winters waiting for snow (and/or for summer).  When not spending time with his family, creative endeavors, or work (usually in that order), Vikram can be spotted sneak-reading a couple of books every week, watching B-grade Vampire & Sci-Fi movies, and/or cataloging his ever-growing collection of impersonal rejection slips from well-known Children's Book Publishers.

Vikram currently makes a living helping create software that helps humanity achieve it's true potential. He holds (or has applied for) over 17+ patents for innovations in software technologies.
