On the downside is the solution you make may not come to realization until a long time on the road, with detailed analysis and optimization can take a long time."

"I have participated in two different projects under my adviser. One was mobile application development for the live streaming of a video. Here I learned how the networking protocols work and how a data transfer occurs."

"The challenges of the job and everyday is a new day!"

"I love having ultimate control over the control system of a prototype vehicle. I feel needed, though not always appreciated. I love the sense of fulfillment I get from the great things that I am able to do in my position. The stress and constant demand from co-workers and supervisors is my only complaint."
