I want to take a moment and express my gratitude to the entire team at Packt Publishing especially Murtaza Tinwala, Anish Dhurat, and Vinay Argekar, for their patience and cooperation. When I signed up for this book, I really had no idea how things would turn out. I couldn't have pulled this off without their guidance.

I would like to express my gratitude to all my friends and family for providing me with unending encouragement and support. I owe every challenge and accomplishment to all my lovely colleagues who taught me a lot over the years.

A special thanks to Divya and Arun for their encouragement, friendship, and support. They were a strong shoulder to lean on in the most difficult times during the writing of this book.

Finally, and most importantly, I would like to thank my wife Manju, who believes in me more than I do myself. Her support, encouragement, quiet patience, and unwavering love were undeniably the bedrock upon which my life has been built.
