Statement of Interest Like every kid, I wanted to be everything, right from the NASCAR racer to the astronaut, but I never stopped looking for my true passion and love. It was the year that I took a gap between my high school and college that introduced me to my passion for computers. Coming from a family of mathematicians, I always had a profound interest on math and science subjects and scored well throughout my academic years. My teachers had an irrefutable influence on me and helped me to mold myself to what I’m today, responsible, explorative and compassionate. With the exponential growth of everyday technology it has become a must-do task to delve more and more into the subject area and make them more efficient both in terms of speed and costs. To realize my career goal of a research oriented position, my first step is to obtain a Master’s degree followed by a doctoral one. I believe this could give me an ideal opportunity to probe and unravel the intricacies of my interested field and achieve my goals with great amount of freedom. Artificial intelligence and Data Management are close to my interests. I believe that an AI system reflects the intelligence of the programmer. Managing data and making use of already available data interests me, but I’m open to other subjects as well. I have benefited from the wide prospect of subjects taught at our college (vidya vikas institute of technology-JNTUH). This has provided me with an opportunity to learn and understand various concepts of computer science and engineering like the Finite Automata, Operating systems, Computer Graphics, DBMS etc., and practical implementation of the same. During the second year of my 4 year under graduation program, I was presented with an opportunity to be a Microsoft Student Partner. This gave me the perfect platform to showcase and improve my skills and work closely with an industry giant of my subject domain. The MSP program has a great influence on me. This opportunity also helped me to discover the leadership and management side of myself. It was in the month of March 2013, that I was called to give a demo on ethical hacking in a National conference held by C-DAC, a R&D organization of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (Indian Government). This opportunity helped me to push my limits as it had me demoing the drawbacks of current profile recovery systems of social networks like facebook in front of the Industry leaders and an audience of 1100+ students, faculty and professionals. Events like these helped me to prepare myself for the next step of my career and kept me motivated. I received a scholarship which covered full tuition fee in my schooling years from 5th to 12th, it was an institutional level scholarship. Principal of my school and other member of the school management believed in me and offered me the scholarship. No education is complete without practical experience, I got my experience through an internship at Edukinect as an app developer. It was a three month paid internship from May-2013 to July-2013, where I was exposed to the design and development of apps on windows phone, windows 8 platforms and windows azure as a background service. I also worked as a freelancer trainer with Edukinect, where I trained students from various colleges on app development on Microsoft platforms. Even though not generally included in the curriculum, the importance of certifications is irrefutable. I did my certifications as a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) and Microsoft Specialist (Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3 Specialist) to establish myself as a professional grade developer. I seek to fulfil my goals and follow my passion in an environment that encourages and uplifts creativity and innovation. After following the UBC’s research in the fields of AI, Data management and other areas closely and proliferate reputation of the University, I believe it would be better suited to me than elsewhere. In a conclusive note, I would like to add that graduate study at UBC will be most logical extension of my academic pursuits and a major step towards achieving my career objectives. I would be grateful if I get the opportunity to pursue my graduate studies at UBC.
