The inquisitiveness to envision the world where computing can solve fundamental human problems – energy, education, healthcare, etc., inspires me to pursue graduate studies in computer science. Some of the projects that I keenly follow as a tech enthusiast such as “Project Loon”- which aims at connecting the last mile of the world, “Internet.org” - which aims at providing internet free for connecting and progressing the world makes me believe that the future of technology lies with the technology leap that we humans make to solve fundamental problems of the world. I aspire to use my graduate degree as a stepping stone towards my vision – which is to leverage technology as a tool to solve real world problems. Being a physics and math enthusiast, it was an easy decision to make when I decided to pursue bachelors in Electronics …show more content…
Accenture, a technology company became my next stop where I am currently working as an Application Development Analyst. It has been a fruitful experience for the vision I joined in- to gain hands on experience with building and managing software systems by applying state of the art software development practices. As I on boarded, I got an opportunity to build an event registration application which came with its own challenges in addition to the limited timeline. The challenges included – analyzing different frameworks, building an application from scratch that supports multiple languages, user customizations, wide spectrum of events, etc. Further, solving more of those challenges with the different projects I worked on has helped gain more confidence on my programming skills. Yet, the hunger to deepen my knowledge in different areas of computing remains, which makes graduate studies an ideal step in my
