Avinash Meetoo’s Summary
I have been working in the IT sector for the past 10 years now.
My first job was as Business Analyst at DCDM Consulting. I spent my time enabling customers to use their IT assets in the most productive way possible.
I then moved to the Mauritius Chamber of Commerce and Industry to work as a Lecturer in Computer Science. I rapidly became the IT manager to provide service to all academics and students. It is there that I first encountered Linux and open source software and became a Red Hat Certified Engineer.
In 2005, I joined the University of Mauritius as Lecturer in Computer Science & Engineering where I taught Operating Systems, Parallel Processing, Programming Languages and Software Architecture. There, I was Chairman of the Lab Subcommittee directly responsible for a number of Linux servers, the networking environment and a team of technicians.
I left the University of Mauritius in August 2008 to fulfill my ambition of launching my own company, Knowledge Seven Ltd.
Knowlege Seven Ltd provides consultancy, support and training services for open source software especially Linux.
My goal is to make Knowledge Seven Ltd the premier open source software solutions provider in Mauritius and the region by helping customers solve their problems in the most cost-effective, rapid, simple and productive way.
