Avinash Meetoo’s Summary
I have been working in the IT sector for the past 10 years now. I worked for one year in one of the biggest consulting firms in Mauritius. Then I moved to MCCI to work as a Lecturer in Computer Science. There I discovered Linux and Open Source Software and it was love at fight sight. I quickly became the IT manager providing service to all academics and students.
Since 2005, I am a Lecturer at the University of Mauritius and I've also become the IT Manager of the Department of Computer Science. I teach Programming Languages, Parallel Processing and Software Architecture. I administer a number of Linux servers running Apache, Squid and PostgreSQL.
My goal is to join an innovative company and have the chance to work on products with high potential. I am particularly interested with Web 2.0 software applications. Ideally, this would also give me the opportunity to live in another country.
