"Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you."
- Walt Whitman

With 5+ years of professional experience in mainframes and game, application development, there was a zeal to unfurl newer dimensions and hone my skill-set, leading to my decision to pursue (Post Graduate) Masters in Computer Science. The course helped me gain insight into technological concepts like AI(Artificial Intelligence), ML(Machine Learning with an overview of Deep learning, Neural Network), IoT(Internet of Things), DS(Distributed Systems), Security & Privacy, Software Engineering.

In my previous life, I have spent nearly three years working over mainframes with technologies like COBOL, JCL, DB2, REXX over z/OS platform at Cognizant Technology Solutions. This involved maintaining and implementing the back-end for financial firms and banks over mainframes. Following which I decided to challenge myself with game, application development domain to satiate my quest of knowing the architecture and end-to-end functionality of game and application development, working in a start-up. I worked nearly two and a half years in the start-up as a senior developer using technologies like Unity3D for game development, Android-Studio for android application development, Swift-2 for iOS application development, Google and BING API for REST services etc.

Working in gaming industry made me curious about AI and how to scale real-life systems that used sensors to capture data to process humongous information and if AI can be used on the edges for smarter functioning which motivated me to get back to college for Master's.

I had always been curious and fascinated by the functionality of human brain leading to human intelligence.Thus, leading to my interest of pursuing a career in AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning.
