Speaker bio

Vibhoothi Anand is a CSE student at Amrita School of Engineering, Amritapuri. He has been building custom ROMs since 2017. He is currently a member of the VertexOS custom Android ROM team where he maintains for OnePlus 2.
In his college there is a club named Foss@Amrita, where people contribute to various open source organisations and he is part of the club. His intrest in custom ROMs began when his phone(OnePlus 2) encountered serious issues like heating, very low battery life, and poor support from the manufacturer. So he relied on custom ROMs. Later on he found that this really helped his phone and it’s quality. Performance and efficiency have also increased.
