I am Kunal, a technology Addict. Sometimes personal freelance tutor for IT subjects, I am always joyful when I learn new things, implement and experience them with strong virtulization and powershell scripting knowledge working as a Sr. System Architect. My point of view is that one should always be curious about how things work in any field and that is what drives me most of the times to explore new things. I have been in the field of virtualization for a while now for almost 11+ years and Iâ€™m still fascinated by this technology, it doesnâ€™t cease to amaze me. Everyday its a new journey and I hope to contribute more and learn more as I go on.
