I am a Software Engineer. I received my M.S. degree in Computer Science from the University of Georgia and B.E. degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering from Anna University.
Earlier I did my schooling at Erode where I was born and brought up. I did most of my schooling at The Sengunthar Matriculation Hr Sec School where I happened to get lots of very good and true friends( Truants : our group name )
My family is a small one - myself, my brother and our mom. My mom, P N Kamala is working as Postal Assistant at Erode HPO. My mom is a great person who brought me up, provided me with everything I loved and showed what life is and how to treat life. She had been a great teacher to me since my childhood days teaching good things and habits never stopping me from doing anything, right until now from my childhood. Always encouraging, prodding me to my best and taking pride in my pleasure and my success exactly what my dad Late B Sivashanmugam used to do. She is the greatest of all women I have seen in my life.
My Brother, S S Dhandapani is working as a Senior Resident at Neuro Surgery Dept, AIIMS, New Delhi. He is less of a brother and has been my friend and a guide to success. He is Dhandu - 'the fundu'. He topped the state of Tamil Nadu during his 10th and Higher Secondary Exams. He did his undergraduation ( M.B.,B.S. )at Jipmer, Pondicherry. He was the Gold Medalist (Best Outgoing Undergraduate(M.B.B.S.), 1999-00) there too proving his excellent caliber. Click here to see Dhandapani's AIIMS PG Entrance Exam Results [November, 2000].
