Kush Sharma

Senior Associate

I am a native of Jammu and Kashmir, India, and currently live in the Cayman Islands with my wife. I began my career in Bangalore, India in 2009, with a masters degree in computer application, and have worked across geographies and cultural hubs. When not working, I unwind with sufi music and books. Running is a passion, and my day is incomplete without it! Apart from this, I have always been excited about understanding and learning new technologies, and share my knowledge by blogging about them.
