“I started learning
about computer languages around one- and-a-half years back. Now I design my own
projects,” Reuben told PTI. The prodigy has been trained by
his father, Mano Paul, in Object C programming language, and is now learning
Swift programming, for Apple’s iOS platform. Mano Paul, born and raised in
Odisha, moved to the US in 2000.

company. Mano Paul is his partner in the company.
“This will be Reuben’s
