Ajay Kumar’s Summary

My work area so far has been related to Computer Networking, Web Based application development, Mobile related technologies involving SMS, GPS and other areas of computing involving Server Administration & Database Administration. Recently I have been majorly involved with Mobile application development, which happens to fascinate me a lot.
I am keen to work on the following areas and try different things out to increase my exposure of knowledge and experience working in a competitive environment.
I also believe to work on meaningful and exciting projects, that is why I still keep contributing actively to the "Sahana FOSS Disaster Management Project" and am a part of the core development team, working on both development and community building activities in India.

The activist in me has run campaigns in the past for www.powerofyouth.org/cms and currently involved with www.voteindia.in.
