Statement of Purpose

Intake Period –

A wise man once said, “Democracy and Digital Privacy are illusions of the modern world.” As much as I want to, yet, there is little I can do to affect the politicos but the privacy on Internet and cloud is my major academic interest and a research goal. As an engineering scholar and an AWS programmer, I have witnessed the advent of Quantum Computing, Cloud, and, Data capabilities from a front seat view. I seek to gain specialist skills in the domain of Cyber Security and want to accrue formal education in learning encryptions and developing security protocols that can effectively protect digital assets in the burgeoning digital economy.

My primary academic objectives include gaining theory and practicum expertise in Block Chain technologies; leveraging the utilities of Smart Contract Systems. While the immersive internet will bring unprecedented changes to the experience of using internet, I am certain that the Internet 3.0 is already here in more ways than we can imagine. The digitisation trends in India are creating brilliant opportunities for professional privy to the cutting edge know how of Information technology. Thus, it is only prudent for me to apply a Schumpeterian logic and upgrade my technological knowledge bank through an expansive and future ready Master’s curriculum that is offered at your esteemed university.
To the objective of learning technologies, I have nurtured my interest with valid education and project work. Right from middle school, I enjoyed the disciplines of Mathematics and Science. After completing my High School (Matriculation) in 2013, I chose to complete my Senior Secondary Schooling for Sri Chaitanya Junior College, (City Name), which is regarded as one the best preparatory schools in India for the STEM hopefuls. In 2015, I passed out from here with a high distinction grade and thereafter, readily joined the Satyabhama Institute of Science and Technology (https://www.sathyabama.ac.in/) to pursue four years of undergraduate engineering program with a concentration on Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
Between 2015 and 2019, I utilised my time at the Satyabhama Campus cautiously to nullify knowledge anticipation and diligently worked to comprehended my Course work spanning (mention cores and electives studies during undergraduate). (Mention major academic projects, seminars, conferences, research papers, certifications and other curricular participation at the college). I often broke the perimeter of my syllabus to learn new technologies and almost in a serendipitous manner got an excellent opportunity to intern with (mention internship details). Through training under intelligible mentors, both inside and outside of the class, I strived to curate technological skills praxis. I owe my professional competence to the undergraduate alma mater; for the rightful initiation of knowledge and for the experiences and friendships that I will cherish for life.
In 2019, I cleared my engineering studies with a CGPA of 6.6. Soon, I was fortunate to join one of the leading IT firms in India, L&T Infotech as a Software Engineer, at their Bengaluru, India, delivery centre. I have been working here since January 2020 on LTI client project of Citizens Bank, owned by the reputable Citizens Financial Group, Inc., USA, subsidiary of Royal bank of Scotland. My primary key result areas as a Software Engineer includes end to end installation, configuration and monitoring of AWS (Amazon Web Services) Servers for Citizens Bank. As a part of the team which ensures robust Application Support and Maintenance, I have gained expertise with technologies such as ETL, DataStage, Talend, Podium, SQL, and, especially DBeaver, which the bank uses to store and analyse all transactional data.
After active industry participation in the last two years, attaining a Master’s degree is a logical progression for me. Not only do I have legitimate academic queries to be resolved, working as a software engineer, has exposed me to interdisciplinary implications of computer technologies. The syllabus of the MS IT and Cyber Security at (Uni Name) aligns perfectly with my learning and career objectives. I am driven to gaining new knowledge in the domains of the encrypted data transfers, NLP, AI and specifically about Smart Contract Build as most Financial institutions in India and rest of the world are willingly adapting to the Block Chain Method of packet transfers. My further research into your university’s curriculum revealed the focus on the research based pedagogy and on how the learning outcomes are encouraged to be achieved through industry experience and liberal research. I am ardent to learn amid the brilliant mentors and infrastructure at your university while treading in a fashion akin to a sincere student.
Like most scholars of technology, I am admittedly biased to study in USA. The research labs at the American technical universities have been at the forefront of new technology breakthroughs; because of the superior syllabus, teaching methods, and, owing to the brilliant synergy that exists between the prototypical thought process and commercial industry. Although similar courses are available in India, yet, I am confident that the American educational experience will allow me to partake with the globally accredited curriculum, unmatchable up skill training and to educate myself amongst a culturally and academically diverse peer group.
A Master’s degree from the USA will give me insights into new technologies that are yet to be tested in India. It will give significant impetus to the acceptance of my ideas and employability prospects with well-known technology driven firms in my home country.
I am fervid to accumulate the scope of innovation synonymous with your University. After completing the MS program, I will immediately aim to acquire coveted slots with leading technological think tanks in India, particularly in the sectors of Digital Payments and Ecommerce. I have a preserved ambition to generate new research about resolving issues such as state benefits and subsidiaries transfer in large agrarian economies sans any leakages. Therefore, I will be opting for reputed PhD program after 4-5 years of gaining work experience post completing my MS degree.
