Rishi

My name is Rishi Kulshreshtha, I was born on 9th May, 1991 in India. I’m living in India and a few trips within its state. I have two brothers.

After graduating from high-school, I spent some time working as a programmer and computer developer for several computer-related companies. I gained a lot of knowledge and experience in the process, and met some very supportive people in the industry.

I enjoyed my studies to a large extent, but also found them frustrating many times. I feel that I deepened my understanding of computers and electronics because of them; The Technion gives its students a high level of studying, but my main problem with it is that its tests are sometimes completely out of sync with the material that is learnt, too long and/or too hard, and so students receive low grades and become frustrated. This is especially demotivating considering the fact that studying there is a lot of work. I recall a time when the only reason I continued to study was to get the degree at the end, and felt completely unmotivated otherwise. Eventually, I came to enjoy my studies a little more, but I still have many bad memories from it.

I am particularily intersted in computing, philosophy and writing. I've been programming since I was 9 years old, but it was not very serious until I started working as a programmer at 2007. As for IT it's been a favourite of mine since junior high. (I'm also interested in linguistics and ancient history of the Near East and Europe, but in a rather unprofessional manner).

Other hobbies of mine include a small amount of sports, biking, hiking, and solving puzzles and riddles of all sorts.
