About

Welcome to my site; thank you for taking the time to stop by.

Brajeshwar.com was started in June, 2001. It was converted to a full-fledged blog during the hay days of the blogging revolution.

Brajeshwar Oinam

BrajeshwarMy Full Name is Brajeshwar Oinam. I was born in a quiet and serene, hill-surrounded green valley of Imphal, Manipur (INDIA) and spent all my childhood-school-life, teenage-college-life there. My first encounter with a computer was rather late. It was in the year 1992. Ever since then, I knew that I would do something that is related to computers in one way or the other. Besides the one-year academic course at school, my training in computers were very informal — sneaking in at relatives private offices, helping out printing firms finish their layouts and somehow making things work when others failed. I made many mistakes too, ranging from deleting DOS, Windows directly thinking they’re never used, fuming out printers after putting the wrong electrical jacks and learnt through it all.

Work

I was ready to do some real work and I landed in Mumbai (INDIA) instead of the pre-planned-route to Delhi (INDIA) on the 3rd August, 1999 by nasty last minute decision. Mumbai was a total amazement and full of inspiration for a small town guy. It wasn’t long before I totally fell in love with the city, the speed and the pace at which things get done.

I had an ardent and keen interest in almost all Macromedia (currently Adobe) Technologies, specially Flash. Today, Flash has grown to an unfathomable proportion and has reached every pixel space of any known medium on the internet. I have a continuous yearning to excel in the technologies encompassed by the Flash Platform — Flash with ActionScript, Flex, Flash Remoting, Flash Media Server (erstwhile Flash Communication Server).

I am fortunate to be the first Indian to become an Adobe Community Experts. Special thanks goes to Mike Chambers for hand picking me to be part of the coveted team, somewhere around January, 2002. Adobe is kind enough to have my profile on their official site. I am also a Adobe Certified Flash Professional.

The Adobe Community Experts Program is a community based program made up of Adobe customers who share their product expertise with the world-wide Adobe community. The Adobe Community Experts’ mission is to provide high caliber peer-to-peer communication educating and improving the product skills of Adobe customers worldwide.

I will always remain sincerely grateful throughout my life to two of the best and very technical professionals that I have ever met in my life, Arindam Biswas and Darshan Sawardekar for standing by me through thick and thin and shouldering responsibilities of the works, projects, deadlines and successes at Oinam Software.

Contact

Please use the contact form to contact/email me. That is perhaps the best and sure way to get your mails to me. My emails have been on the internet since 1999 and they are included in every spam mail database you ever know. So, I currently receive over thousands if not millions of spam/virus emails, despite all desperate measures of spam protection including the ones at the webhost.
