About Me

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.

My Interests

Algorithms

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.

Web Development

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.

Mobile Application Development

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.

Artificial Intelligence

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.

User Interface Development

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

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.
