Shreyas' Story
Technology and its advancement has always amazed me. I have always believed in practical approaches to solve real-world problems.
I was born and raised in Mumbai, India. In high school, I was an enthusiastic student and would brush through the encyclopedia at home. Soon, with time, the encyclopedia evolved to Wikipedia, and before I knew it, I had become an ardent follower of Information Technology.
Following this passion, I selected the Information Technology program which further boosted my desire to push directly into a full-fledged career in the field of Software Development. In India, I completed my undergraduate degree in Information Technology. I was then accepted into the University of Cincinnati School of Information Technology (SoIT) to start my Master's Degree in Information Technology.
The SoIT made me realize that I am capable of more than I had ever dreamed. That I can rise to challenges and make a point of stretching beyond my comfort zone.

UC’s SOIT has prepared me for real-life situations and jobs. Difficult courses have taught me exceptional critical-thinking skills and that the answers will not always be in front of my face. Through my courses, I have learned how to solve complex problems and that high-quality results take hard work.
I have had the privilege to serve as a Full-stack Software Development Intern in the Information Technology Solution Center (ITSC). Following this internship, I received my second co-op opportunity as a Software Developer at Projitech LLC in Cleveland, Ohio.
As I reflect on my proudest moments in college, I would undoubetdly say that it was being recognized by the UC Division of Experience-Based Learning and Career Education for my co-op opportunities. My father is greatly admired in India for his education from one of the top engineering colleges in India. My recognition from UC was not only a proud for me, but also for my family.
