Hey I am Ankit Hirdesh. Welcome to a Geek Gator's personal website.
At last after so much of procrastination, I have made my home page to share my interests, works etc.
Well who me?? Answering it is difficult. I am a complex person in this real and simple world, one who loves to take risks, but nevertheless a fun loving and very friendly person. I like innovative things, and nothing innovative or new in technology doesn't interest me.
I am currently pursuing my MS in Computer Engg. from University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA. The place is home to Gators, BCS Football and NCAA Basketball champions. I am proud being a part of the wonderful Gator Nation. The state of Florida where I live is famous for its world famous beaches and tourist attractions. More on this all later.
Before this I worked as a Software Engineer for a year at Infosys Technologies Ltd., India. I was trained and Mysore and then posted in Trivandrum. I gained a lot from my stint at Infy. Their business processes are amazing. So are the employees there. I think I made more friends there then anywhere else.
I pursued my B.Tech in Computer Engg. from Zakir Hussain College of Engg. and Tech. (ZHCET), Aligarh Muslim University(AMU), Aligarh, India. AMU is one of the few Central Universities of India, and was in headlines recently for being considered to be given IIT status to its Engineering college ZHCET. It is also one of the oldest universitites of India and was established by Sir Syed Ahmad Khan.
My areas of interests include Search Personalization, Collaborative Filtering, Intelligent Systems, Databases, Computer Graphics and Parallel/ Distributed Systems (apart from traveling, reading, playing computer games, sky gazing in night, day dreaming, sleeping, chocolates and icecreams :) ).
