On technology front:
+ I have worked as the Maintainer of Evolution mailer. I implemented the sqlite summary support for evolution and relicensed it into LGPL among various activities.

+ In college days, I had a wrong idea about the word "Hacker" and as a result hacked into our college Netware systems getting the list of our lecturer's usernames and passwords.
+ I have worked with Tamil Nadu Government's initiative to Train the college Lecturers and setting the syllabus for a paper named "Linux and Open Source" in Engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu (an Indian state)
