about-me

Greetings, I’m Jaykishan Mutkawoa or simply Nitin or Jay to those who know me. This blog is my space to share insights on Linux, Open Source, DevOps, Technology, and anything else intriguing that crosses my path. Back in the day, I actively participated in Open Source and Linux meetups, as well as Hackathons. Originally from the enchanting island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, I was raised in a small village: “Riviere Des Anguilles“, my journey took a turn in October 2019 when I moved to the United States. Currently, I’m engaged as a System Operation Specialist at NASDAQ – the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations. Beyond the tech realm, I find joy in exploring Psychology, Science, Space, Futuristic Physics, and Language. Join me as I unravel the complexities of technology and share my experiences on this exciting journey.

My Track

2005 – I found myself in a private school, navigating the challenges of obtaining my School Certificate. However, at that point in my life, securing employment took precedence over academic pursuits. My primary assets at the time were my proficiency in running and holding a red belt in tae kwon do.

2005 – [First job] I vividly recall the moment in a classroom when I received a response from the Commissioner of Police in Mauritius, notifying me of a required physical aptitude test. Fortunately, I successfully navigated through it. On the eve of that notification, I sat in a classroom, and the very next day, I bid farewell to school life to join the esteemed ranks of the Mauritius Police Force in June 2005. It was during my training that I realized I held the distinction of being the youngest member in my batch.

Throughout my eight-year tenure in the Police Force (from 2005 to 2013), Linux, in those days, was more of a recreational pursuit for me. Amidst duties that involved sentries of prisoners and patrols, I carried my Linux notes in my pocket, often consulting them in moments of reflection. Transitioning to a fully flexible Linux-savvy individual proved challenging, given the demanding nature of my law enforcement responsibilities.

My training journey led me through the intricacies of the Police Training School at the SMF (Special Mobile Force) complex, and after nine months of intensive preparation, I commenced my professional career in law enforcement. My initial assignment placed me in a quaint village in the south of the island at the Souillac Police Station. Subsequently, I experienced diverse roles and responsibilities as I was transferred across various units, including DSU, CID, Regular Force, ADSU, and more. Each transfer brought new challenges and opportunities, contributing to a comprehensive and dynamic career within the Mauritius Police Force.
