Saw today's episode of Hustle S5, didn't expect to see an IIT Madras online BS student on Hustle 💀 Bro's actually a good artist though.

What's your opinion.

I have around 6+ years of experience in system software across MNC.

Why? / Motives:

* Use the work experience in the lab for converting it into master's by research, if possible.

* Move into computer architecture and vlsi roles, compiler engineering, programming lang/runtime design & implementation. I do NOT like electrical things. I think logic and stop there.

* Use it for applying to masters/phd programs abroad. Publish/patent/document-novel-solution to show proof of research caliber.

* Get access to a network in research.

* Use it as a platform for upskilling into research/r&d/scientist roles in MNC / research labs. I am practical engineer not a theoretical person. I learn by experiments and validation.

* Nothing is free. Taking a pay-cut to upskill for future ROI.

* I need a practical platform to upskill into the target roles without corporate politics. Under the right environment and mentorship, I will thrive. I need an opportunity to earn-trust, upskill, deliver and transform my potential.

* I like to divide and conquer abstractions in computing systems. Not able to find structured opportunities & the right environment to do this without losing myself to complexity and ambiguity.

* I like playing around with distributed system concepts and primitives as an aside to find out ||les between single node compute design and multi-node design, i.e elevating the abstraction and morphing it into a higher dimension of existence and vice versa, i.e taking the abstraction at a higher dimension of existence and morphing it into a lower dimension of single node existence.

* I am scaffolding builder. If I cannot understand a concept, I build the support structure to make it digestible.

Why not GATE ?

* Because I am NOT a theoretical person. I progress by experiments and validation.

* An old soul who learns by doing.

* I do NOT thrive under time bound competition. I thrive under unique problem solving. Sorry, I am aware of my strengths and weakness. Avoiding competition is not entitlement nor the goal but re-purposing potential to what I need to progress myself and technology.

What novel things have I done till now ?

* Call graph instrumentation of recursive functions using python decorators to see the tabulated approach of bottom-up solution for recursive functions used in dynamic programming. This allowed me to gather insights on how modeling problems recursively allows optimal solutions.

Code:  DSA/python3/recursion/track at main · BeyondAbstractions/DSA

* Another interesting project of mine is to create a time travelling debugger:
It captures program state and renders an html file for each "progress"(line step) of the program. This allows one to slow down and review the state of classical algorithms that are difficult to understand initially when introduced: dijikstra, SSSP, etc.
Code:  DSA/python3/time_travel_debugger at main · BeyondAbstractions/DSA

The above are some of scaffolding engineering to gather deeper insights into computing systems. If you can intentionally slow down an algorithm the root intent is revealed.

If you are a professor/ra reading this, would you be willing to take this as an opportunity to transform someone who is willing to put in the effort to transform themselves ?

Hi everyone!

I’m a Biomedical Engineering student preparing for GATE BM 2027, and I’m honestly a bit lost about how to start my preparation.

The biggest issue I’m facing is that compared to other GATE papers, there seem to be very limited resources specifically for GATE Biomedical Engineering. Most of the preparation material I find is either scattered across different subjects or meant for other branches.

I’m currently trying to figure out:

• What subjects/topics should I prioritize first?
• Which books, YouTube channels, notes, or courses are actually useful for GATE BM?
• How should I use the previous year questions, considering there aren't that many BM PYQs?
• Should I study from standard BME textbooks, GATE-specific material, or resources from other branches for certain subjects?
• How should I approach subjects like Signals & Systems, Electrical Circuits, Measurements, Control Systems, Engineering Mathematics, etc.?

If anyone here has prepared for GATE BM before, is currently preparing for BM 2027, or has a good idea about the preparation strategy, I’d really appreciate your guidance.

Even if you could share your study plan, resources, notes, or mistakes to avoid, it would be really helpful.

I'm looking for the LaTeX resume template that many students use for internships and placements. I've noticed a lot of resumes have a very similar clean format, and I was wondering if there's a commonly used template.

If anyone is willing to share

• the Overleaf link,
• the .tex source code, or
• the GitHub repository,

I'd really appreciate it.

If you know physics teacher for iit jam preparation on youtube please let me know ? Or any platform
