I'm Abhishek Kumar, Senior Engineering Manager at Rubrik, and it's a privilege to be here at Google Cloud Next.
 I grew up in India and was always curious about how things work. That curiosity eventually turned into  a career in software engineering, and over the past decade-plus, it has taken me from writing code to architecting distributed systems to what I find most challenging and rewarding today,  building and leading the engineering teams behind them
I'm a husband and a proud father of two daughters. One keeps me on my toes with school projects and weekend activities. The other keeps me humble with early morning walks and a complete disregard for personal space.
