About the Reviewers

Burhan Khalid has always been tinkering with technology, from his early days on the XT to writing JCL on the ISPF editor, and from C and C++, Java, Pascal, and COBOL to his latest favorite, Python. As a lover of technology, he is most comfortable experimenting with the next big technology stack.

By day, he works in a multinational bank in the Alternative Channels unit, where he gets to hack on, develop, and test applications that help execute transactions across all manner of electronic devices and channels. In addition to his work, he also contributes to open source projects, having released a few toolkits for transaction processing, and he offers consultancy services to startups on their technology stacks and development processes.

He is an avid volunteer; he is a mentor for Sirdab Lab (a startup accelerator), a frequent speaker at the local Google Developer's Group, a presenter and volunteer at StartupQ8 (a startup community), and an active user on StackOverflow.
