My experience and proficiency with programming languages, linear algebra, algorithms and database concepts is supported by the following facts:

Undergraduate and Graduate School Coursework:
1. In the 3rd semester of my undergraduate program, I had to take a C, C++ programming course and a programming lab. These courses introduced me to both the theoretical and practical applications of the programming languages.
2. I was a math minor at Vanderbilt University and took multiple mathematics courses such as linear optimization, non-linear optimization and error-correcting codes to meet the degree requirements. All these courses required good understanding and application of linear algebra and algorithms concepts. To cite a few examples, in linear optimization course, I learned to solve a system of inequality equations using simplex and revised simplex methods that require matrix computations. Non-linear optimization exposed me to constrained and unconstrained optimization algorithms such as steepest descent, golden section …show more content…

My job at Capital One Financial Corporation requires me to have a strong understanding of SQL, SAS, and database concepts. Capital One has several petabytes of data and it is stored in various relational, non-relational (NoSQL) data bases such as Teradata, Oracle, HDFS, mongo DB and SAS data servers. As an analyst, I have to not only understand the underlying data model, table schema and metadata, but also program in SQL, SAS, NoSQL and python scripts to query data from these data structures. While my focus in recent years has shifted to strategic leadership and direction setting, I have continued to demonstrate technical proficiency as an individual performer on various innovation projects. Recently, my team worked on a project to build out metadata wiki pages by leveraging media-wiki APIs. I programmed the prototype using the python APIs and demonstrated the solution to my leadership before handing it off to my team for production

All data that is transmitted over a network is open to being monitored. One way to create a more secure environment would be to restrict file permissions. It is usually recommended that file permissions are set so that only necessary access is granted. Another way to create a more secure environment would be to use secure passwords to verify the user’s identity. Password security is very important when it comes to protecting not only the network, but the user and workstation.

In the changing and fast growing pace of technology, my position as a CIO has had to adapt to better align with our company’s business objectives. With the IT seemingly becoming more influential in the business world, it makes sense that the CIO will have more responsibilities in the company (Taewon Hwang, Discussion 1, 9:19 PM). Having a CIO as a business-strategy partner is key to alignment. Not only does he have to manage IT resources, he also must deploy and communicate IT capabilities in the way they align with the business strategic vision (Yves Laison, Discussion 1, 10:22 AM). The CIO certainly plays a crucial role in that competitive analysis, but so does every c-suite executive.

Computer science is a way of thinking. Starting in freshman year, I learned algorithms in preparation for programming competitions. Immediately, I was hooked on the unique problems I encountered: creating programs to find the shortest distance through three-dimensional mazes or simulating the path of lasers in a labyrinth mirrors. I loved the satisfaction of successfully implementing the individual parts of a program to solve an overarching problem. Before typing away at the keyboard, I would carefully trace out several steps on paper and plan out the program -- calculating time complexities and memory requirements.

I have had a strong inclination and passion for the field of analytics and computing, right from high school years through university and into my working career. My passion towards computers started with my introduction to the computer programming language BASIC in grade 6th where I created simple routines to understand programming. In high school I took my interest forward and elected for computer science as one of my primary subjects. At the time Object Oriented and high level programming languages were at the peak of their prominence in the education sector. Those initial high school years of dabbling with OOP through C++, helped shape my career path.
