For this reason, I want to evolve a deep understanding of computing theory and applications that will servicing as a springboard to future discoveries. Absorbing new technologies has forever been a pleasure to me. I like to be ahead of others in knowing new technologies, and thats why I want to take apart further. It is this desire that made me apply for the masters degree in computer and information science at the University of Pennsylvania.During my Undergraduate degree plan a t SASTRA University, the area which was of special interest to me was the design and analysis of algorithms. My get-go encounter with algorithms was when I wrote code for the popular video game Pac-Man (in C++). Thereafter, I developed a liking for the subject and challenged myself with tougher algorithmic problems by participating in programming contests hosted on sites like Codechef , Sphere Online arbitrator and TopCoder. I stood 10th in India in the Codechef February challenge-2009 and was consistently ranked in top 200 in TopCoder.
