Hi Dimitris,
Thanks a lot for the review :)
Please note that the projects I have listed were a part of my academic
curriculum and I will be able to put up the links for those only after the
respective Prof approvals (which I will make sure I get by Monday).
For now. I have worked on making my application more readable, improved
project architecture section, and elaborated on the projects I have
undertaken so far.
The modified application can be found
here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-l4nMWSzRIYCdgfyy8sCZL7cQAl3fiN5gvP8BMCGosM/pub>
.
I am yet to elaborate on the definite timeline . I would be obliged if you
could give some insights for the same.
Best,
Shivani
