970 Words2 Pages

Since early school years, I blended my passion for mathematics with my love for sports. My passion for math, and as a result for computer science, helped me score near perfect scores in these two subjects in my twelfth grade. In the same way, my passion for sports helped me win many prizes in state-level chess competitions. Quite naturally my passion for computing made me pursue information technology for my undergraduate engineering majors. As I began my professional life after graduating, I blended my interests in software development with my love for mountaineering. I scaled many treacherous mountains and managed to achieve the highest Himalayan climb of 15750 feet. Thus, a perfect mix of academic, professional and physical activities has …show more content…

In the third year, subjects of databases, web technologies and software engineering helped me discover my interests in software development. I took special efforts to learn programming tools and languages used in developing web applications. I got the right opportunity to implement my learning when I did a team–project to develop a web-based on-line banking system using Java framework. Through this project I became adept in designing databases and front-end screens and developing programs to integrate the UI layer with backend database. I underwent one week in-plant training at HCL where I got knowhow on the IT infrastructure covering hardware and software platforms, networking and system administration. This orientation helped me clearly understand the concepts learned in the computer networks course and motivated me to carry out my final-year project in this area. As a team of four, we ideated on the possibility of maintaining multiple paths in wireless sensor networks which, though having some overheads, had advantages of load balancing, fault tolerance, bandwidth aggregation and reduced delay. I took responsibility for developing special algorithms to showcase improvement in performance and reduced path
