STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
I seek to apply for a Master of Science in Computer Science at the prestigious university [NAME OF THE UNIVERSITY]. My inquisitiveness to know more and more about technical things has taken me here to where I am standing today. I believe this runs in my veins as my father is a civil engineer, and so is my elder sister. This has what made me opt for B. Tech. To give a brief, I completed my secondary education at Adarsh Public School with a 9.3 CGPA in 2013 and Intermediate from Narayan Junior College in 2015 with a 95.4 CGPA. Then I went ahead and opted for B. Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering, which I had concluded in 2019 with 80 per cent.
During my academics, I handled a project on image denoising using a trilateral weighted sparse coding scheme, wherein I followed two approaches for the removal of noise from real-world images. In the first approach, I detached the noise using the additive white gaussian noise technique and achieved SSI (Structural similarity Index) equal to 0.801. On the other hand, in the second technique, I was successful in making use of the TWSC technique and achieved SSI equal to 0.8946 by removing the noise.
The second project that I handled was related to the transmission of audio signals using LASER. In this, I implemented a one-way communication of audio signals using LASER based communication system. This project was based on the principle of amplitude modulation, where an Audio signal is given as input, and a LASER beam is obtained as the output signal. This helped me in gaining practical knowledge about the concentration of the LASER beam being diverse as per the prompt audio signal value, and the similar is detected at the receiver by the optical sensor (solar panel).
WORK EXPERIENCE
After successfully concluding B. Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering, I marched towards the real world, i.e., the corporate sphere, by joining one of the renowned brands in the IT sector – Tata Consultancy Services, as a Systems Engineer in June 2019. TCS is widely known for being the global leader when it comes to information technology-related services, consulting & business solutions, along with a large connection of innovation & delivery centres.
Over the years that I have worked with TCS, I did batch job monitoring, wherein I monitored production servers, CPU utilisation and database using solution manager and Nagios alerts. In addition, I also executed regular BO and BODS health checks and have been responsible for daily monitoring activities like checking ABAP dumps, monitoring batch jobs flow, scheduling batch jobs and checking lock entries.
In addition, I have also provided SAP production support and resolutions for PP/QM related issues within SLA. Over my tenure here, I grabbed domain knowledge in the discrete manufacturing industry and standard configurations related to the PP area. I also worked on configuring the inspection lot, the result recording process, the notification process, several enhancements and configuration changes related to the MRP controller. Working with TCS also helped me in polishing my language skills like C, MATLAB, JAVA, SAP ABAP and helped me work better with tools like SAP, QLIK sense, Dollar universe (Orsyp), JIRA, Ivanti Landesk.
I can proudly say that my tenure with Tata Consultancy Services has bestowed me with ample awards and recognitions. I completed certification in Enterprise Solutions: SAP – Business Communication Foundation- TCS and also Language Skill: English Foundation – TCS. I have received the “Best Team Award” twice in TCS.
WHY THE USA?
I have always had the United States of America at the top of my priority list whenever I wish to pursue higher education, considering the fact that it is one of the top education destinations all over the world. In fact, a few of my friends are studying there, and I can see the way they have polished their skills and knowledge in their respective fields. More so, the USA is also known for its best student life and top-notch curriculum that strikes a perfect balance between practical and theoretical knowledge.
WHY MASTER OF SCIENCE IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AT [NAME OF THE UNIVERSITY]?
My profuse acquaintance with the corporate setting for the past three years and while working with global clients has left me with no doubt that pursuing a Master of Science in Computer Science is the best step ahead if I want to expand my vista. Studying here will surely help me in integrating fundamental theoretical concepts with sophisticated practical applications. The program here is designed in a way that would help me prepare well for future corporate aspirations and even if I want to pursue studies further. My wish to take up this course has come from the challenges that I have faced while working on different projects. The best part about studying this program here is the fact that it will provide me with strong academic support alongside applied experiential learning opportunities.
What further attracted me about the course at [NAME OF THE UNIVERSITY] were some of the significant units such as Algorithms, Operating Systems, Programming Languages, Interpreters and Compilers, Data Mining, Machine Learning and Statistical Analysis and so on. I am eagerly looking forward to advancing my knowledge as this course aligns well with my career goals.
Upon successful completion of the program, I am sure I will be able to master vital knowledge of computer systems and computational theory. Plus, I will also be able to apply cerebral, technical and problem-solving skills to resolve issues.
HOBBIES
Singing is my hobby and I always wanted to grow as a singer too. My inquisitiveness to learn is not restricted to this as I recently learnt ukulele and guitar. This is the reason I thought of learning ukulele and guitar during lockdown.
I also like to share my honest reviews regarding places I visit, books I read and movies I watch. I like to read all types of books, be it historical, fiction, poetry and even weekly magazines .
FUTURE PROSPECTS AND PLANS
No doubt, computer science is an ever-evolving and competitive field that deems fit to augment the success of any organisation. It is also known to all that the value given by computer scientists to any industry is obvious. After successfully completing this program, I look forward to honing my technical skills so that I secure a decent job where my work is recognised, and I stand out from the crowd. My long-term plan is to start my own business. Therefore, the knowledge attained from this course will help me in widening my growth prospects, which will further help me in getting an inch closer to my goals.
Yours Sincerely,
