Kailash Awati manages information systems development at a pharmaceutical multinational in Australia. Over the last several years, he has managed projects in companies ranging from startups to established firms. He has also worked as a business and technology consultant for companies in Europe and the US.
On the technical side, he is a seasoned database architect and administrator with wide experience in designing, implementing and administering databases for transactional and analytical applications. Some of his articles on database administration/programming and data management can be accessed here.
Earlier, in what seems to him like another life, he did research in fluid dynamics and other areas of physics.
For what it’s worth, he holds doctoral degrees in physics and chemical engineering together with assorted certifications in project management and database administration. An admittedly strange mix, which he sometimes finds hard to explain.
The views ventured on this blog are based on his personal opinions, and do not in any way represent the positions of his employers, past or present.
Dear Kailash,
We really like your article “Obstacles to Project Communication” and would like to ask permission to publish it on our articles page. Of course we will credit you as the author and provide your biography and relevant links.
This is just the type of quality article our visitors find useful and would really appreciate.
Many thanks.
Kind regards,
Duncan

Kailash,
I find you Blog not only useful but challenging. Great reference materials, thoughtful discussion, and timely topics.
As a former particle physics accelerator “worker bee” I see now where the thought processes come from.

Hi, via Jeff Conklin, came across your post referencing one of my papers. Since we’re both Aussies, perhaps we should meet up some time. Let me know if you’re coming through Melbourne.
