Randy Pausch, a Carnegie Mellon professor, was known for his work in virtual reality, the Alice project, and his famous "Last Lecture," given after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Here are 5 key lessons from it.
They test how badly you want something.
Failure gives you valuable experience.
We often learn the most when we think we're learning something else.
Feedback means someone still believes you can improve.
Live well, and your dreams may come to you.
Computer science has changed a lot over the years. In the past, computers were very large, expensive, and mainly used for calculations. Today, computers are smaller, faster, and part of almost everything we do, including communication, education, business, and entertainment.
One of the biggest changes is Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI has been researched since the 1950s, but it has become much more common recently. Today, AI can help people write, code, create images, and find information.
I think the future of computer science will be even more interesting. AI will probably become a normal part of everyday technology, and new technologies like quantum computing may change how difficult problems are solved. At the same time, cybersecurity and privacy will become more important.
Overall, computer science has developed from simple calculating machines into technology that can learn and help people. I think it will continue to change quickly and have an even bigger impact on our future.

Projects
An agri-fintech platform bridging farmers and urban consumers — crop pre-selling, real-time market analytics, and a predictive income model. Scaled a 15-farmer pilot to multi-district operations, improving farmer earnings by 40% and cutting consumer prices by 25%.
An AI-driven platform for space science and STEM education — 200+ digital research pieces and an NLP chatbot, used by a global community of 10,000+ student researchers.
Experience
Collaborated on AI research and ML models; work initiated Beyond Infinity, which earned a 90%+ distinction.
100+ volunteer hours mentoring students in Python, robotics, and cybersecurity. 1st place, Robotics track, out of many participants.
Taught CS and STEM subjects while helping scale operations to 520+ monthly classes across 250+ schools.
Built interactive dashboards tracking crop residue utilization for CBG plants using open-source datasets.
