I am a graduate student pursuing my Masters in Computer Science at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. I am a driven and motivated person and I appreciate good design. I love programming and solving mathematical problems and puzzles. Besides these, I am a huge fan of Manchester United. I am currently involved in learning and exploring iOS programming in Swift, Machine Learning and rock-climbing. I am interested in learning more about Virtual Reality and Game development.
Taking an algorithmic approach to solve problems has been one of my strong traits. I try to utilize my free time on sites like Hackerrank, Google Code Jam and Project Euler, trying to come up with optimal algorithms for problems.
I am fluent in HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript and jQuery. I am also familiar with the REST principles and I have developed a lot of applications and POCs in Adobe AEM, which is Adobe's web based CMS. In addition to this, I have also developed websites as part of my academic coursework.
I have developed apps in both iOS and Android. The iOS app was a simple gesture-driven alarm app that presents the user with a great and clean interface. The Android can be used as an eBay search tool. I am currently learning Swift and I am keen on developing more mobile as well as smart watch apps.
I am very much interested in Artificial Intelligence and its applications. I took up a course on the Foundations of Artificial Intelligence which gave me an opportunity to program some classifiers in Python. I have also taken up a course in Natural Language Processing and I will try to implement the knowledge that I gained from my AI course towards NLP.
I am a big fan of design studies and I like to focus on making a product's design simple and effective. I also took up a course on Specifications and Design of User Interface Software and also developed a high-fidelity prototype for an iOS app. I have also extensively worked on creating and fixing website UIs.
Software Engineering is vital to create strong processes to develop great software and I have learnt this with experience. As I was part of a small team in a big organization, I understand the various roles and stages of software development and their relevance in making things work properly.

Here are few of the projects that I have worked on that are close to my heart. I am proud of the fact that I learnt a lot of new things solely due to these projects.
Coming soon.
In the journey that is my academic, professional and social life, I have been gifted enough to meet some truly wonderful personalities and I have been able to share a great relationship with some of them. Some such people have been kind enough to share with me a few of their observations about me.
