Who am I?
My name is Nishant Kothary & I design and build things for the Web.
I’m struggling to find the time to get my real site & blog up, so this page will have to do for the time being.
I have a dream job at Microsoft as an Evangelist on the MIX Online team. Depending on the time of day, I wear one or a combination of several hats: designer, developer, content strategist, speaker or program manager.
I live in Kirkland, WA, with my wife Pita, our cats, Izzy & Mango, & our Weimaraner, Yoshi.
