A large part of the knowledge in this book has come from the numerous great people I have worked with. Not all of them are listed here, but they have certainly influenced me in my life, which has resulted in this work.

I cannot thank my employers, Matt Wright, James Hemmings, and John Deeb, enough for being very appreciative and supportive about me completing this book. All of them are exceptional leaders and have allowed me to focus my energy on writing, and I greatly thank them for that.

Most importantly, I appreciate the encouragement I have received from my parents for helping me achieve many things in my life. Finally, a special note of thanks to my wonderful wife, Karuna, for her constant support, cooperation, and patience without which it would have been impossible for me to manage my work and life together. Thank you for believing that I can write this book when I did not believe it myself and for supporting me even when my already busy schedule only got busier.

I have learned a lot from all of you and have so much more to learn.
