About

Bipin UpadhyayProjectBee.org is maintained and run by me, Bipin Upadhyay.

I live in India, moving from one city to another every couple of years like migratory birds Amsterdam. I do a whole lot of things and wish was good at some.

Work

  • Among a lot of things I do and don’t get paid for is performing and narrating (fictional) stories.
  • I work as an Architect with Team.Blue. My work usually involves assisting my incredibly skilled team in making architecture decisions, while ensuring that a semblance of sanity is maintained between the product view and the technical implementation.
  • I co-run co-founded & ran a starup in the past.  We worked on products such as FormsDotStar, EntranceForms, and FoxyPay. Although I’m not involved with the startup’s day-to-day activities anymore, I’m happy that I left it in capable hands.

Hobbies

  • I am part of the core team at null security group and lead the Amsterdam Chapter of null.
  • I am an amateur (and award winning :D) photographer, and a proud owner of Nikon D7000 (After my D90 got stolen)
  • I love books, but avoid contemporary fiction (Harry Potter seems to have changed that). Oh, and I wasn’t a big fan of Kindle until I owned one
  • I love movies and music, and am a big follower of Indian Ocean
  • I also love Indian classical music and am a (dormant) volunteer of SPICMACAY
  • I love poetry, especially in Urdu and Panjabi, and am a big follower of Gulzar saab, Mirza Ghalib, Bashir Badr, Faiz and Baba Bulleh Shah. I co-author at Dervesh.
  • I am a nomad soul who gets bored with monotonicity

I love conducting workshops and delivering presentations, especially at educational institutions. Let me know if you are interested.

Lastly, I know it’s a much used movie line and hence sounds corny, but I really DO wish I could fly (or may be even glide naturally).
