Sachin Boban

Football loving systems enthusiast

I am a graduate student at the University of Utah, pursuing Masters (MS) in Computer Science at the School of Computing. I graduated with a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science from Department of Computer Science and Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Calicut (NITC). My interests include Operating Systems, Embedded Systems etc. Very recently I have started taking interest in Distributed Systems, Database Systems, JavaScript and flutter.

While Malayalam is my mother tongue, I am well versed in English and Hindi. I also speak a little Tamil. In addition to soccer (or football outside the US), I also like going for a walk and explore places (and taking pics along).
