About

I, Arun Thomas K, am pursuing B.Tech degree course at Mar Athanasius College of Engineering, Kothamangalam.

In the college I belong to the 2012 batch of Computer science and Engineering. My native place is thrissur. Web designing and development, SEO and content development were of much interest to me. Like any B.Tech student in CSE department, my aim is to get placed in a prestigious Multi-national IT firm. I always wanted my career to grow onto the technical side of the firm rather than the management, HR or any other functional roles.

Education

I currently am pursuing B.Tech at Mar Athanasius College of Engg, Kothamangalam, kerala. My course ends in 2012. MACE being one of the top five colleges in kerala, I am proud to belong to its Computer Science and Engg department. I opted for this branch since computer programming and designing were always my passion.

I did my 12th in Indian School Bahrain in the 2007 batch. I had taken biology with maths as my stream.  In 12th I was trying to become serious about studies. Stopped hanging around with friends. I started becoming a rather serious guy though I am very much so now.

Back in 10th I was a pretty lazy and easy go lucky type. I enjoyed my whole life in the beginning of 10th. I had a bunch of very close friends in the year. In 9th and 10th I had the craze of web development using HTML. I had made a static website about astronomy and hosted the same in yahoo geocities which is obsolete now. At the end of the year I had to put in a whole lot of effort to make it for the board exams. I ended up with 85.2% in AISSCE examination.

Technical Skills

I had to learn C, C++ and basics of 8085 assembly language programming as part of curriculum. Also Oracle 8i was thought in lab sessions. I learnt C# and ASP.NET from a private institution out of personal interest. My mini project was developed using JSP using RAD and DB2 9 at the backend.

SEO has become an area of interest for quite some time.  I used to apply different on page SEO techniques like keyword research, keyword density analysis and offpage optimization like social bookmarking, backlinking from web directories, guest posting etc.

I am familiar with windows XP and 7 of which, 7 I like the most. I am more into the Ubuntu distribution of Linux. I also like the Mint distribution which is a mimic of Ubuntu with all the extra plugins preinstalled. KDE interface gives the appearance of windows to Linux desktop because of which I prefer KDE to GNOME desktop interface.
