Welcome


Hi everyone!! Welcome to my blog..

I am a Computer Science guy pursuing Masters in Computer Science at San Jose State University. I have been working with Capgemini and Synopsys in the past. Currently I am working as a College Co-op at EMC2. Based on my work experience, I have pretty decent knowledge on Software development, Web Application development and Big Data Analysis.

Computer Science is a very vast and interesting field of study. It is not just about computers, it is about computations, algorithms, data structures… to software development, robotics, big data. I have always been interested towards data. How they are organized, managed and maintained securely. It is really fascinating to know how huge volume of high-dimensional data is analyzed. I have good knowledge about SQL database. I have some idea of how the NoSQL works. I also have worked with BigData which is booming in the Silicon Valley. I learnt about Hadoop (BigData analytics tool) and did a real-time project which fetched me a job in this field.

Apart from that, I am also interested in Web development. You can notice that from this blog’s theme. I was not satisfied with the themes which Blogger provide. So I have my own custom theme for my blog ! 


As recently as the year 2000, only one-quarter of all the world’s stored information was digital. The rest was preserved on paper, film, and other analog media. But because the amount of digital data expands so quickly (doubling around every three years) that situation was swiftly inverted. Today, less than two percent of all stored information is non-digital. Therefore, there emerges a need for a new form of database technology called Big Data to deal with these massive digitally stored data.

I am quite fascinated by Big Data and I am learning the emerging technologies to make myself stable in this field. The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand.
