Ryan Rusli Gozali - [email protected]
My name is Ryan Rusli Gozali. I'm a 4th year ICS major specializing in Information System. I'm a Chinese Indonesian that was born in Singapore, who happen to have British Educated parents, and one of them was born in Brussels. I studied in Indonesia until 9th grade and moved to Singapore due to civil unrest and ethnic violence that broke out in May 1998. I entered United World College of South East Asia and pursued an International Baccalaurate Diploma for 2 years. I then moved to the US to enter a community college in the Bay Area called Diablo Valley College. Finally, I ended up in UC Irvine and will be graduating in June 2006
I love to play guitar, soccer, games, and read books. As a matter of fact, books are in my second highest spending category after food. I picked up the habit when I was in 11th grade, and never looked back.
ICS is a major that is very rigorous but rewarding. The world is embracing the new wave of information age and technology is the key that differentiates those who can make it big, and those who are left behind. Realizing the potential that IT posses, I decided to pursue this path in hope that I too can be a part of those who make it big
After Irvine, I hope to work in a consulting company and use all the skills that I've learned to be put into practice. I hope that I can pursue a M.B.A or M.O.E degree before returning to my country. A little side track to Shanghai before that wouldn't hurt as well.

Hi!! I am Vishal Kothari, here in USA since last 8 years. I am from Bombay , India . I am extremely passionate about technology. I am a constant hard-worker, learn new concepts and grow from their experiences. Initially when I came to USA , I have struggled very hard to settle down here to this environment. After putting a tremendous effort into my studies, I got placed in the Dean's List at my community college. I am a transfer student from Glendale Community College to U.C. Irvine.
Technology is my passion because it makes people's life easier and convenient. I love to solve technical puzzles and complex problems. I have strong mathematical skills and Computer Science allows me to apply it in my technical field. Therefore I have picked Computer Science. I want to focus on moving ahead and get some technical experience by working in my field since I am going to graduate this March. And hopefully want to go ahead and do my M.B.A. in the near future.
That's all Folks!!!
Frank Zhou Yu -
Hi! I'm Frank Zhao Yu, a 4 th year ICS student specializing in Software Systems and Network & Distributed Systems. I was born in China and moved to Alabama , USA 16 years ago. In fourth grade, I again moved to California . After moving around the United States , I entered UCI as a freshman in 2002 and will be graduating in June 2006.
My strengths lie in mathematics and problem-solving skills. As a teenager, I played with computers, programming in the QBasic language and learning to build a webpage for fun. Now I am taking computer science seriously for it means a lifetime career.
I am fluent in Java and familiar with Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition. In a networking course, I enjoyed operating UNIX machines and troubleshooting problems. In software engineering, there is a steep learning curve in using software tools, but I diligently read help documents and increase the speed of utilizing certain features of Eclipse and NetBeans. I love challenging problems and the exploration of concepts in computer science. Some algorithms such as Red-Black trees are the most challenging and yet they are the most efficient. Internet protocols such as the bridge protocol are interesting and ingenious, so they further expanded my broad knowledge of how computers interact with each other as well as how they process data. I plan to work in software engineering industry and to learn new IT-related skills.

I am Ramez Attia, 5 th year at UCI. I am an ICS major with a minor in Management. I transferred from Long Beach City College. I will be graduating in June 2006. In computer Science, I more interested in Artificial Intelligence and also software engineering processes. Archetictural design is something that I definitely enjoy working on as it allows analyzing system in a big picture, away from the little details of implementation. For my future career, I would like to own my own IT business at some point.
On a personal note, I am a 23 year old Egyptian American. I was born in Cairo, Egypt. I am a soccer fanatic; I just love the game. I play and coach recreationally at this moment. Other than that, I am preoccupied with my school and work.
