My name is Ms. Ekta Kailash Urane, I currently reside in Ichalkaranji & am an individual who values education and has a strong desire to continue learning and growing in all aspects of life. I attended one of the reputable schools in my city for my education. The school boasted excellent faculty members who were deeply committed to culture and discipline. The intellectually stimulating environment I
was surrounded by nurtured and cultivated values such as discipline, hard work, self-confidence, and determination. I take pride in having achieved commendable academic results throughout my high school years.. In my 10th grade, I was able to secure an impressive score of 87.40%. This accomplishment was the result of my diligence, perseverance, and sustained commitment to my studies. Throughout my academic tenure, I consistently demonstrated excellence in my studies while simultaneously engaging in a diverse spectrum of extracurricular pursuits, further showcasing my commitment to holistic growth and time management. I elected to pursue a science-oriented curriculum for my higher secondary education and subsequently enrolled in a distinguished college within this academic domain. In
my 12th grade, I was able to maintain my academic momentum with first class. Apart from my academic pursuits, I am a person who enjoys being involved in
various extracurricular activities such as sports, music, and volunteering. Moreover, I actively participated in various academic competitions and workshops that enabled me to enhance my knowledge and skills. I used to participate in
elocution competitions and spelling bee competitions, in which I achieved several accolades. My consistent participation and victories in these competitions
not only boosted my confidence but also honed my communication and public speaking skills. I have successfully completed my Bachelor of Technology
(B.Tech) program in Electronics Engineering, attaining proficiency in this academic discipline during my time at DKTE Society’s Textile and Engineering Institute. DKTE, situated amidst a prominent technological milieu, is an
institution revered for its educational culture. Throughout my tenure there, I garnered substantial exposure to and honed a comprehensive understanding of Electronics Engineering—a realm replete with scientific inquiry and challenges that captivate and continually push the boundaries of human intelligence. During my academic tenure, I gained comprehensive knowledge of electronic circuits, microprocessors & digital electronics. During the pursuit of my Bachelor's degree, I was privileged to engage in a stimulating project titled "General Purpose Object Sorting Machine". The project involved the development of an automated system that could sort objects based on their shapes and sizes. As a member of
the project team, I was responsible for programming the micro-controller, and integrating the computer software into the system. I utilized my programming skills to develop the software component of the sorting machine, which included the user interface and control system. The project required us to apply our theoretical knowledge to a real-world problem. Overall, my project experience has
been a significant part of my academic background, and I am confident that it will benefit me in my future endeavors. Presently, I am dedicatedly pursuing the IBM Data Scientist Certification program, driven by a steadfast commitment to gain profound insights into its intricate mechanisms. PROFESSIONAL CAREER:
During my undergraduate studies, I had the opportunity to complete an internship at Kaizen Softservices, a leading software development company. As an intern, I was
exposed to various technologies and worked on a diverse range of projects that allowed me to enhance my skills in programming and software development. One of the projects I worked on during my internship was related to SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems. This project involved developing a web- based SCADA system. Additionally, I also had the opportunity to work on several other projects, including learning python and SQL. These activities allowed me expand my programming skills and improve my problem-solving abilities.
