Statement of Purpose- MSc Big Data and Data Science Technology (with Advance Practice) –

Northumbria -UK

Introduction and Background:

As the world becomes increasingly data-driven, the demand for professionals who can make sense of
the vast amounts of information available is growing rapidly. Pursuing an MSc Big Data and Data
Science Technology with Advance Practice will allow me to develop the skills and knowledge necessary
to navigate this complex landscape and make a meaningful impact in my chosen field. With a
background in Computer sciences, I am excited to take on the challenges of this rigorous program and
contribute to the cutting-edge research and innovation taking place in the field of Data Science.

Myself Waseem Hassan. I did my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Virtual University. I got
my higher secondary school certificate from Rawal College of commerce, Peshawar Road Rawalpindi.
Before my Bachelor degree I worked as a Computer Operator and Inventory Control Officer at Madina
Medical store. Where I gained valuable experience in managing inventory and utilizing software systems
for data analysis. As a Computer Operator, I was responsible for inputting data into the system and
ensuring that all inventory levels were up-to-date. As an Inventory Control Officer, I was responsible for
managing inventory levels, reordering products when necessary, and implementing measures to reduce
waste and increase efficiency. This experience gave me an in-depth understanding of the importance of
accurate data management, as well as the practical skills needed to work with complex software
systems. Moreover, it allowed me to develop strong problem-solving skills and a keen eye for detail,
which are essential for any career in data analytics. After that I worked as a Front-End Developer at
Coders Globe, I have had the opportunity to work on several exciting projects that have allowed me to
hone my skills and grow as a professional. During my tenure as a Front-End Developer, I have been
responsible for designing and implementing user-friendly and responsive interfaces for websites and
web applications. One of my key achievements was leading the development of a complex e-commerce
platform that required extensive front-end design and development work. I collaborated closely with
the design team to create a user-friendly interface that was optimized for a seamless user experience.
This involved implementing responsive designs, integrating third-party APIs, and building custom
functionality using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery. Throughout my career as a Front-End Developer, I
have also gained experience in optimizing website and application performance using tools like Google
PageSpeed and GTmetrix. I have worked on improving page load times, reducing resource usage, and
optimizing code to ensure that websites and applications are fast and responsive.

After completing my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, I developed a keen interest in the field of
Data Science. Through my coursework and hands-on experience, I became fascinated by the power of
data to drive insights and inform decision-making in a variety of industries. I realized that to fully
immerse myself in this field and make a meaningful impact, I needed to pursue an advanced degree in
Data Science. My undergraduate studies equipped me with a strong foundation in programming and
data structures, but I recognize that Data Science requires a unique set of skills, including statistical
analysis, machine learning, and data visualization. Pursuing an MSc Big Data and Data Science
Technology will provide me with the opportunity to acquire these skills and develop a deep
understanding of the methodologies and techniques used to extract valuable insights from data. I am
excited about the potential for Data Science to make a positive impact on society. Through my studies
and research, I hope to contribute to projects that can improve healthcare outcomes, address
environmental issues, and create more equitable systems. Overall, I believe that an MSc Big Data and
Data Science Technology will provide me with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities to achieve my
personal and professional goals and make a meaningful contribution to the field.
