I'm a smart working, confident and motivated individual with an undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering. Currently, I am pursuing my master's in Information Technology and Management at The University of Texas at Dallas. I don't have any prior work experience but instead of seeing it as a setback, I consider it one of my biggest strengths because I can always learn new things from scratch without having to unlearn anything. I am a team worker with preeminent leadership qualities and have worked on eclectic academic projects during my undergrad. I was also the head coordinator and members co-ordinator for events held in my college back in India. Solving tough problems with innovative solutions is one of my many talents. Having studied subjects like Data Analytics and Data Mining during my undergrad, I developed an interest in sharpening my analytics skills even more, and so I have also taken up courses like Business Analytics with R, Business Data warehousing, Data Visualization, and Statistics and Data Analysis at UTD. Helping my dad run his restaurant business has made me polish my management skills which also lead the business to grow from a small scale to a 1000$ profit per day organization. I have taken courses like System Analysis Project Management and Organizational Behavior to enhance my management skills even more.
