I am a Graduate Student at the Department of CISE @ University of Florida since August 2008.I moved to UFL soon after I obtained a B.Tech-Information Technology degree in 2008 april from the National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal(Formerly known as KREC).
I am a native of the silicon city of India:Bangalore.I did my schooling in Presidency, R.T.Nagar and then moved to Clarence High School at Frazer Town for my ISC(11th and 12th Grade).I then spent 4 yrs at NITK and by the end of it, I had made up my mind to study further due to which I am here: University of Florida.
It has been a steep learning curve from the time I left India. In this breif period, I have been lucky to be taught by some of the best Professors in Computer Science. Their motivating lectures with real world examples, thought provoking examinations & projects has instilled in me a deep sense of appreciation of few topics in Computer Science like Concurrent Programming, Computer Architecture e.t.c.
Presently I am at Beckman Coulter Inc, as a Software Engineering Intern and developing some tools in C# and .NET for the Company's UniCelŪ DxH 800 CoulterŪ Cellular Analysis System. Some of the key things I have learnt here are Design Patterns in Object Oriented Programming, Multi-threading in C#, Windows Presentation Foundation (Its way better than the usual forms), Test Automation Software: Test Complete 7.0 .Now, its almost time for me to return to UF, take another set of challenging courses and get back to the usual routine.
