Ashok Kumar S is an Android developer residing in Bangalore, India. A gadget enthusiast, he thrives on innovating and exploring the latest gizmos in the tech space.

He has been developing Android applications for all Google-related technologies. He is a Google certified Udacity Nano degree holder.

A strong believer in spirituality, he heavily contributes to the open source community as a e-spiritual ritual to improve his e-karma. He regularly conducts workshops about Android application development in local engineering colleges and schools. He also organizes multiple tech events at his organization and is a regular attendee of all the conferences that happen on Android in the silicon valley of India.

He also has a YouTube channel, called AndroidABCD, where he discusses all aspects of Android development, including quick tutorials.

Ravindra Kumar is an Android developer and computer polyglot from Bengaluru, India. He is an Android and web speaker, startup geek, and open source junkie.

He works as an Android developer at Fueled. Previously, he worked with Cleartrip, as the lead developer of Cleartrip.com's Android app. He likes open source projects and is a huge fan of the fancy Android libraries out there. He contributes to bug reporting, fixing, and feedback, and has given talks at DroidCon, TiConf, and JSFOO.

He started as a web engineer who used to write lots of JavaScript, but after some time, looking for his real passion, he started his journey in mobile app development through Titanium. Later, he discovered the Android world. After getting some experience on such an awesome platform, he started a new adventure at a mobile company, where he led several projects for important Indian companies.

He has a strong interest in code quality, testing, and automation, and preferably all three together. Combining technical with soft skills, he also ventures into the realms of mentoring and article writing. He hates doing things manually, and hates to see src/test/java directories with empty example classes. He believes that by working with legacy code and improving it, he can make the world a better place. To his disappointment, the world does not seem to care all that much about his efforts.

He is a pretty normal person--a husband, father of one, and lover of cricket. You can follow @ravidsrk on Twitter or email him at ravidsrk@gmail.com.
