Pursuing my strong interest in Computer Science has over the years enabled me to develop keen
analytical and reasoning skills. Through the course of the four-year Bachelor of Technology
(B.Tech) degree program in Computer Science and Engineering at the prestigious ABC
University, I acquired an overall perspective of this scientific discipline, with a particular interest
in Object Oriented Programming. Data Structures, JAVA Technology, Database Management,
Theory of Computation and Principles of Compiler Design were some of the other areas that
captured my attention. My keen interest in the subjects translated into receiving an A+ grade in
the Data structures lab and averaging an A grade in the other labs. I also involved myself in
numerous projects, including a prototype of a "Billing and Inventory Management System" for a
retail showroom, developed using Visual Basic and SQL Server, and also the simulation of a
simple SLR parser using C++ for a Principles of Compiler Design assignment. Proactive in my
approach to learning, I have also completed the Cisco Certified Fundamentals of Java
Programming course.
Apart from the projects undertaken in college, it was my desire to gain exposure to the software
industry, and this prompted me to take up various training and internships. In the summer of
2016 and 2017, I spent a week in Germany where I was trained in Basics of Robot Programming,
and Offline Robot Programming (using Roboplan V5.00), at Carl Cloos Schweisstechnik. I also
completed a project titled "Study on Non-Stock Transaction Monitoring" at L&T Komatsu,
Bangalore in May-June 2016.
For my final University dissertation, I worked with a team of three other classmates to develop a
"Multiparty Voice Chat on Windows Platform". The project was undertaken in L&T Infotech,
Bangalore and involved building a low-cost application to enable voice/text chat and file
transfer, using .NET technology. The application was intended for in-house communication
between peer systems in the organization, thereby removing the need for a dedicated server. This
assignment greatly strengthened my conceptual knowledge, and through its practical
implementation, it also allowed me to further my expertise through integrating .NET technology
and Network programming. In addition to enhancing my .NET skills, I also gained knowledge
about multiple architectures in networking and how socket programming works. Till then my
coding had been largely restricted to basic C++, and while it was a challenge to learn and
implement socket programming in the .NET framework within a short span of 4-5 months, it was
one I readily accepted and am richer for it.
Simultaneously, active participation in a wide range of extracurricular activities has ensured the
all round development of my personality. I have taken part in cultural activities like group dance
and literary activities like crossword and Sudoku competitions. I also play badminton as a hobby.
Apart from this, I handled the role of being the Student Representative of the Computer Science
branch for four years, a responsibility that included acting as the bridge between the students and
the administration, scheduling additional lectures for the class, assisting the faculty advisor in her
duties and assisting the students in case of any problems. This experience brought to the fore my
leadership abilities, while also assisting in honing my social skills.
Having acquired a solid foundation in the field of computer science through a rigorous
undergraduate program, and my various internships in the IT industry, at this point, I feel that it
is the right time to take up graduate studies. I wish to raise my understanding of the nuances of
the Computer Science field and use this knowledge to further my chances for a lucrative career
in Software. With a keen interest in working on the latest web technologies, I seek to take
advantage of the plethora of opportunities in the field of social media which allows the
combination of these technologies with one's creative instincts.
The MS program in Computer Science offered by the Concordia University will undoubtedly
provide me with the right knowledge, skills, and experience to pursue that dream and exploit the
opportunities to the fullest extent. The practical orientation of your in-depth coursework will
allow me to not only acquire a clear understanding of the subject but also the skills to execute it.
I am confident my exposure to such initiatives would quite augment my knowledge base and add
tremendous value in enabling me to realize my professional goals
