Objectives
As one who is curious by nature, a calm observer by temperament, and a
compassionate
enthusiast by heart, I am driven by opportunities which afford potential
excellence in evolution beyond the status quo. I am a firm believer in the
possibility of a win-win situation, and that is the ethos of
my holistic personality. I thrive in projects which whet my appetite for
pattern
recognition, observation of self-assimilating modules of reality, their
interplay, and the
subsequent analysis which results in veracious algorithms. The
gratification of intellectual curiosity combined with the creativity of
organizing advancement and refining the result is the ultimate
satisfaction. For all of these reasons, my ultimate career goal is to
obtain a position in Data Science.
