  • "During my internship at Inspira Analytics, our intern team had worked for two weeks on a client presentation for a new data dashboard. Unfortunately, during the final review, the manager pointed out several major flaws in our analysis and asked us to redo the entire structure. The feedback was blunt, and the team felt discouraged, questioning whether our efforts were even valued. As the informal team lead, I felt responsible for helping lift the team’s morale and refocus everyone so we could del"

  • "My least favorite product is a desktop software solution called Marg, which is used frequently at our family business. Its an inventory, bookkeeping, and accounting software for small businesses in India and integrates with the official government tax portal. The general journey to accomplish any task, say adding a new product type, is very unintuitive and requires someone to be hands-on and familiar with the product to actually do this. Getting there is pure hit and trial. Like most desktop sof"

    "Union−Find -We illustrate our basic approach to developing and analyzing algorithms by considering the dynamic connectivity problem. We introduce the union−find data type and consider several implementations (quick find, quick union, weighted quick union, and weighted quick union with path compression).
