I grew up idolizing my father who was one of the very select few in his graduation batch to be recruited by IBM. This might sound easy but he had to acrobat through rounds of aptitude and IQ tests before being accepted as junior programmer. While growing up, it was his profession that gave me the opportunity to sit beside him and watch him write codes in languages that looked a lot like English but yet came across as French. Codes written by humans that made the computers perform tasks at lightning speeds was mesmerizing for a young boy. My interest in technology, particularly personal computers, increased as I grew and by the age of eleven, I started to develop small programs of my own in Basic, Fortran and Pascal. I made up my mind from the early age that field of technology is where I wanted to be when I grew up. After I graduated from the high school, I enrolled myself at King Abdul University’s Computer Science undergraduate program. …show more content…
During my undergraduate days, I was fascinated by the technology companies and their leaders who had revolutionized the field of computers. Most of these leaders studied electronics, engineering or computers. After graduation, I extensively leveraged my network and secured a Customer Support Engineer position at IBM. The very same company that I dreamt of working for like my father, who I idolized. My dream of studying computer science and working for IBM became a reality. Although, my father had moved on and was working for the federal government by
My interest in computers started around early high school when I got my laptop and started looking more and more into vividly at them. When I first got my laptop was playing videogames and watching streamers.Then I one day sitting in my bed and I thought to myself I would like to know more so I can fix anything if
I have always been interested and intrigued by computers, ever since using a BBC when I was very young. Since then I have become fluent in writing BASIC and more recently I have learnt HTML, the language of the World Wide Web on which I have my own wesite. I use computers for most of my exam coursework such as Solving Equations Using Numerical Methods for Pure Maths 2 and also for recreation.
After my twelfth grade, the inherent ardor I held for Computer Sciencemotivated me to do a bachelors degree in Information Technology. Programming and Math, a paragon of logic and reasoning have always been my favorite subjects since childhood. I still vividly remember the time during my graduation,when I was successful in creating a simple calculator application as a class assignment.The joy I derived from creating something that is used by a lot of people to help them perform complex calculations,made me realize the power of computing in its true sense.It was also in my graduation that I developed an immense interest in programming languages such as Java, C++ an...
... advanced computing, with specific reference to Computer Programming. I therefore believe that I must return to the academic world for further growth and achieve some more milestones.
The mind must never be kept idle because of its tremendous capacity to absorb and learn. After careful consideration of my aptitude, interests and experiences gained while pursuing my under graduation in the field of Computer Science and Engineering, I have decided to pursue my Masters in the field of Computer Science. Being a dynamic and ever evolving field, many new developments are expected and there is immense scope for research on new products and applications. To progress and make a mark in this field, I realize that it is important for me to pursue my Masters from a reputable university. I have always dreamt of taking up research.
As I am preparing for a new chapter in my life, I have put a lot thought in about what I want out of life and what to look forward to as I get older. In order for one to achieve anything, they need to set goals to reach for. I have a handful of goals for my future, short term and long term, that I will actively work towards in my college years and beyond. In my time at UW Eau Claire, I plan to be involved and engaged in student activities on campus. Being active will help me meet new people, build a better resume, and have fun at college. At UWEC, I would like to get involved in anything musical, along with various clubs and Greek life. Similarly, another goal of mine is to have a job on campus. Having a job will not only help me make some
My career choices have changed through the years from mother and housewife through architect, accountant, or teacher, finally I have arrived at a computer career. The following is an idea of the path I have followed.
Perfection is not within the realms of possibility, but I always knew if I aim for perfection, I could at least achieve excellence. This is the mantra I have followed in every walk of life. I have always learnt to appreciate everything I have taken up, thoroughly and to the fullest. In this competitive pace of life, I have learnt a lot from my experiences and I am still striving to learn more. I constantly challenged myself in an effort to develop a rational mindset and approach to problem solving.
My passion for computers started in high school, when my father bought a home pc. Then I got the opportunity to explore my practical knowledge with a young and an enthusiastic teacher. At first I started learning about the hardware...
My fascination with computers began from early high school when we had introductory computer classes. Further, programming and graphics lessons caught my imagination and soon computers became almost an obsession. This resulted in my choosing Computer Science for undergraduate studies. Artificial Intelligence is the area where I have chosen to set my foot in.
My passion towards digital technologies began early. It started as a fascination for computer games, evolved to a curiosity for networking and finally to an appreciation for computer security. And so when it came to deciding the stream for my graduation, the choice of doing it in Computer Science Engineering was obvious for me.
My personal career goal is to do Information Technology (IT) and how I’m going to achieve that goal is by going to a community college to start off with and then go to a four year college. When I get my Bachler’s degree I will go further into my career into helping my job fix computers when they are broken down. The process of deciding to pursue a career as an IT was is an easy one, but that process has helped me define my career goal, be realistic about what I want, and plan thoughtfully about how to reach my goals.
After deciding on my goal, I started to research what my next steps should be. The first step was to choose a degree pertaining to web design and to find a college that offered this degree. I decided to obtain a Computer Science (CS) degree, as it covered a broad area of computer study. I researched colleges within the state of Montana, in order to avoid the costs of out-of-state tuition, and found two colleges that looked promising: Montana Tech in Butte, and Montana State University (MSU) in Bozeman.
I have always been interested in the working of computers since they were mainstreamed into our school system in the early 1990’s. At first, it was the programs and learning to do so many things with the computers. We were able to create active puzzles and mazes in our physics class. It always amazed me this little box could do so many things. I always found it exciting trying new programs on this machine and learning while I was at it.
When I go back in time, the images that make the fondest memories of my childhood are primarily the ones related to computers. While I was growing up, I spent a good amount of time learning new things about computers through whatever source I could. What started as a leisure pursuit soon turned into passion, and when the time came to choose my subject for pre-university, computer was my first choice. I studied technology and hardware workshop, computer networks, information bank, operating system, physics, mathematics along with programming languages, software packages like word, excel, access, power point, Snagit etc.
