Education
Everything in life is educational.
Somethings you get a certificate for.
I am enrolled on the online masters of science in computer science (OMSCS) at Georgia Tech. I am doing the masters so I can properly understand machine learning and distributed computing.
During my PhD at the University of Warwick, I delved into the realms of graph theory and group theory under the guidance of Professor Agelos Georgakopoulos. My research was an engaging journey through complex mathematical principles and theory, which was both intellectually challenging and rewarding. The community at Warwick was a source of inspiration and support, composed of an array of brilliant and kind individuals who continually fostered an environment conducive to growth and learning.
In addition to my academic development, this period of my life was crucial for my personal evolution. I matured significantly, both in my academic approach and my personal values and personality. I participated actively in the Staff-Student Liaison Committee (SSLC), which offered an enriching perspective on policy shaping. My teaching experience further augmented my skills and perspective, while social activities contributed to a well-rounded and fulfilling university experience. Ultimately, my time at Warwick was a balanced blend of rigorous academic work, enriching extra-curricular activities, and personal growth.
I pursued an integrated Master's in Mathematics at the University of Warwick. It was an academically enriching period of intense study and rewarding experiences. This rigorous pursuit cultivated a deep love for mathematics, providing a solid platform for solving intricate problems and unveiling the beauty of mathematical logic. I was honored with the Ron Lockhart Student Prize in 2013 and the Giving to Warwick Student Prize in 2014, both recognizing my academic excellence and significant contributions to the Mathematics Institute and Department, respectively.
The university years also fostered my early interest in research and programming through two funded summer research projects and the development of Mimir, a learning platform. Concurrently, I discovered my passion for teaching, beginning as Academic Support at the Warwick Maths Society in 2013-2014, and later transitioning into my first paid teaching role. I engaged actively in student representation, serving on the Staff-Student Liaison Committee (SSLC) and chairing it for two years. In sum, my time at Warwick was a transformative journey, punctuated by academic accolades, a deepening appreciation for mathematics and teaching, and significant departmental involvement.
In retrospect, my undergraduate and masters years at Warwick were a transformative period, marked by academic rigor, a deepened love for mathematics and teaching, and meaningful contributions to the department and wider university community.
I love youtube for starting to learn new tools. I thought it would be nice to share some youtubers I personal like.
- Arjan Codes : This is a nice channel for learning python principles.
- DevOps Toolkit : A great channel to understand how someone in DevOps thinks and to learn about all the latest toys in kubernetes.
- DevOps The Net Ninja : The channel I used to learn all the front end development I have done.
- Nicole van der Hoeven : This channel taught me how to use Obsidian and its community packages. She introduced me to the concept of learning in public.
- Kurzgesagt : A great channel that produces really good quality videos about well researched topics. I really admire their adherence to Truth as a value.
- CodeAesthetic : A great channel to make you hated by all your collegues. It covers how you should code.
- CGPGray : Most probably the original youtube channel that got me hooked. They are funny videos on fairly random topics.
