My undergraduate education and experience in industry has been instrumental in molding my interest in IR and knowledge representation concepts, and I have decided to pursue an MS in the areas of multimedia information processing and retrieval.
The Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Science acquainted me with the inter-relationships amongst different aspects of computing. My conviction that efficiency of information retrieval (IR) techniques will be important for extracting knowledge from large datasets grew during this time.My understanding of IR concepts helped me in developing a search tool for the department and presenting a technical seminar on ‘Working of a search engine’.
Through my coursework and participation in over 30 coding competitions I acquired critical problem solving skills. I applied these skills to successfully complete my final year project which involved federation of BMC Patrol, a monitoring tool and configuration management databases (CMDB).The project guaranteed minimum downtime of Patrol network by suggesting replacements for failed nodes.
