I am from New Delhi, India and am currently working at Hewlett Packard Enterprise as a developer of the Chapel Programming Language
I came to the US for my undergraduate studies and got my double major in Computer Science and Management Information Systems – MIS. I was attracted to the UofA because I found this great combination of majors that represented my interests along with a wide plethora of extra-curricular activities to indulge in and contribute to the community.
One of my earliest memories in school was of the morning assembly. The beloved principal made it a point to recite, everyday without fail, this timeless poem from Rabindranath Tagore's Gitanjali:
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
It has been a guiding light to me ever since
My decision to pursue a double degree in CS and MIS was founded in the reasoning that as a professional, I would need to amalgamate the business and tech side of any organization to bridge the gap between Ideas and Code. Therefore, with this new “full-stack” of understanding both the IT and the Business aspects of a company, I would be a great asset.
