Career Direction
Having been in the field of computer science for the last 8
years, I find myself pursuing a long term career in this
science. I did not specialize in some aspect of compter science
during my undergrad days, but then that study opened me up to
so many interesting areas. Thereafter I worked for a year and
the nature of the work was predominantly implementation. This
work experience has helped me visualize the difference between
academic pursuits of knowledge and those that are required in
the industry. I decided to pursue my Masters so that I could
cultivate more knowledge in my field of interest. Having worked
with Dr. Finin and Dr. Joshi during the last one and half
years, has given me a wealth of experience in Agents Based
Systems, Semantic Web and Mobile Data Management. During Summer
2001, I worked as a Research Intern with Hewlett Packard Labs,
Palo Alto. Though I am not yet decided whether to take up
industry job after masters or go ahead with Doctors program,
but the baseline is fixed, I want to pursue a career in Applied
Research. I find theory in its extreme form boring and
only implementation quite mundane. I interned with Hewlett
Packard Labs for two summers (2001 and 2002) and have joined
Hewlett Packard Company, San Diego, working on Sensor
Networks.....Thereafter...?
One of my favorite quotes on attitude
Two stone cutters were once asked, what they were doing?
Cutter1: I am cutting stones.
Cutter2: I am on the team thats building the castle.
