Kumar Abhishek’s Summary
I have an acute desire to prove myself in any role given to me. In a short span of 4 years I have gained experience in Product Development, Project Management, Engineering, Software Development and IT consulting, Advertising, Marketing and Evangelizing, all while being a full time Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate student at SASTRA University.
I understand the importance of time and always try to make best use of it. I like public speaking and have spoken in many national and international forums in the area of Open Source.
I graduated with a degree in CS in June 2009 and have been since hired by Sun Microsystems Inc. where I am looking after OpenSolaris Outbound Marketing, and have done projects and consultancy for companies like Dr. Reddy's Lab and RPG Enterprises.
