Welcome to my Technology blog !!
Starting to blog was one of the
things in my bucket list and this class pushed me towards it. This blog will
mainly focus on my understanding / opinion of the technical aspect of the material
under discussion.
(EDIT)Let me introduce myself to
everyone.I'm Ashwin Kalbhor. I'm currently pursuing my
Masters Degree in Computer Science from San Jose State University. I consider
myself to be proficient at Java as well as other programming languages like Python
/ C / C++ .
I recently finished my internship at PayPal where we worked towards improving the experience of a user, when resolving an issue, by redesigning the system and making the user go through a reduced number of steps to get his / her account back to normal standing.
What excites me about Computer Science?
The field of Computer Science is relatively in a nascent stage as
compared to other fields which have been around for a long time and as such the
scope for innovation and improvement is huge and excites me to no end.
At a higher level I see myself interested in Computer Security as well
as Operating Systems and on a more granular level Algorithms, Data Structures interest me.
Challenges that I believe can be tackled
The branch of Computer Science does
not restrict us. In fact it provides us with the building blocks which can then
be used towards building solutions that will change the world. The possibilities are boundless however with my current
knowledge level of Computer Science I can have a go at reducing illiteracy by setting
up a website with structured content that will provide education to everyone at
no cost. With some further study I could possibly help write algorithms that
could tackle congestion on arterial roads by dynamically adjusting the
durations of the traffic signal. I am also currently carrying out an analysis
of hard to detect viruses so that this information can then be used to make our
cyber lives easier.
Hello Ashwin, I am writing this to critique your site and thereby (hopefully) improve your online image. How we represent ourselves is very important to employers and viability in the global market. We wish to appear knowledgeable, sincere, and positive.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the background image of the wing of a plane and atmospheric backdrop. It lends to the blog a sense of scientific interest. Furthermore, it keeps the blog light and breathable, uncluttered, and spacious. The textured paper cut at the top of the blog content is a nice touch as well. Your ‘About Me’ portrait is friendly, yet I find it hard to view you as the main focus, as there is so much negative space around you. If you crop it in and fill more of that image with –you-, viewers/potential-employers can see your sincere smile and competent countenance (expression) better.
The textual content is to the point, and writing quite good, yet I noticed a few things that could be changed for the better. Firstly, exclamation marks are great for adding emphasis and excitement, but one is prudent in a non-casual document. Use them sparingly, so they add impact where it counts. You may consider removing “Let me introduce myself to everyone,” as it is redundant. Instead you could say something like, “My name is Ashwin Kalbhor, and I am currently pursuing…”. I noticed in the following paragraph you referred to ‘making’ a user do something. Replacing, “and making” with “to allow” portrays your work in a more constructive manner.
