I am currently a graduate student of Carleton University (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada). My CGPA after taking five courses is 11.80 out of 12.00, an A+ average. I am currently starting work on my thesis, and when things get more underway, I will write about it here.

I graduated Spring 2007 from Carleton with a Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours), Software and Computing, Co-operative Education, Minor in Mathematics. My final undergraduate CGPA is 11.87 out of 12.00, an A+ average. This earned me a Senate Medal for Outstanding Academic Achievement at convocation.

This section includes a list of awards received, extra curricular activities, and information about interesting or relevant course work. Keep up to date with this and more on my blog.
