Kumar earned his B.E from BITS Pilani, India, and has been employed at Confluent as a Software Engineer since July, 21. He is in the Platform Infra team and has been working extensively on cp-ansible (an open-source solution using Ansible Playbook for management of Confluent Platform). Kumar has been involved in public speaking since a young age and he also loves software. Kumar also finds it oddly comforting to refer to himself in the third person.
