About

First of, thanks for taking time to read this. I’m Antony Maria Joseph Peter (that is one heck of a long name!) yes i had no choice but to live with it (but i love it though). My school and college friends call me “Anto” and to everyone else I’m “Joe”. I currently work for a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation company (EFI – Electronics for Imaging Inc,.) based in Foster City, CA — All thoughts / ideas / words expressed in this site is solely personal and does not have anything to do with my employer.

The Domain: Back in 1999 when I was an intern at a company named DotCom infoway in which I eventually became an permanent employee in May 2000, I did few websites which my boss then “Mr. C.R.Venkatesh” liked it and asked me what i wanted in return for the work that i did. I answered “A domain would be great”. You know back then at least in India, it was really pricey to buy a domain name (about Rs. 3500.00 — hell that was like 3 months salary that i was making then) so got this domain amjoe.com [short form for Iam Joe and Antony Maria Joseph].

Designer, Husband & Dad: I was a student at St.Joseph’s College back when i bought this domain, then i got married on the 14th Feb 2004 (yes on Valentines day) and on Oct 22nd 2005 i was promoted to be a DAD. (that feels good) currently working at EFI
