I come from a well-established family background and was raised by educated and responsible parents who have taught me from the very beginning to value knowledge and work hard. As an individual aware of the profound importance of education and knowledge to a successful professional life, I have always put my intellectual and academic development first and foremost the same would be corroborated by my impressive and consistent academic record.

As an inquisitive kid, growing up I was generally interested in a lot of things from business, technology, history, to science and maths. I spent my school years discovering and exploring different interests and learning about the scope and nature of different professional careers. By the time I was to finish school I found myself most interested in following my interest in technology further and I, therefore, enrolled myself in a Bachelor's in Technology in Computer Science and Engineering degree program.

My undergraduate college was a place for me to continue my education on a grander, more comprehensive scale. Among the many courses that my diverse and multidisciplinary UG course curriculum contained were: Multimedia Technology, Data Warehousing, and Data Mining, Big data analytics, Computer Networks, Operating System Design, Web Technologies, Computer Organization and Architecture, Design and Analysis of Algorithms, Programming languages, Scripting languages, Data structures, Object-oriented programming, and Database management system. I was also introduced to new exciting concepts such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and cyber security. In addition to empowering me with a solid grounding in various computing essentials, my diverse and multifaceted UG course curriculum also allowed me to explore different exciting areas and develop new interests. I have had a faint fascination with business management from the very beginning. My undergraduate college was an opportunity for me to get reconciled with this interest in management from my childhood days as I received a formal introduction to many thrilling management concepts like human resource management, marketing, finance, managerial economics, customer relations management, project management, and operations management via many of my management-focused elective courses.

My undergraduate college was not only a place to learn theoretically but also practically. I was part of a large number of interactive, heuristic learning activities that helped me understand how to connect theory with practice. Besides taking regular participation in various workshops, hackathons, training programs, and seminars, I also worked on a number of academic projects that allowed me the opportunity to utilize my learned skills and knowledge. I have been interested in sports from the beginning. I was the school captain for our volleyball team for about 4 years. Additionally, I have been playing volleyball and badminton for the past 10 years. Engagement in such sports activities has helped me develop good teamwork, leadership, interpersonal, conflict resolution, and communication skills. Moreover, throughout college, I was a key member of many student clubs and committees and regularly assisted in the coordination and organization of various college programs.

I began my professional life experience at [COMPANY_NAME] as a Software Intern in February of 2018. While there, I had the opportunity to learn various necessary professional life skills and receive real-time technical exposure. I was able to gain hands-on practical training in WMS technical and functional roles. I also received training in MOCA language, groovy scripts, SQL, Java, and database management. In July of 2018, thanks to my meritorious work, I was hired by the same company as a Software Engineer. As a software engineer, I was entrusted with duties like working on end-to-end warehousing operations including receiving, put away, order processing, packing, shipping, inventory management, and web services. I also worked on MOCA reports (jasper and rpx) and customized applications as per client requirements. I was also responsible for code repository management and the deployment process. I also had the opportunity to gain valuable management-oriented experience in troubleshooting and on-call support with clients.

My interest in management has had ample opportunities to grow via many academic and professional training programs that I have been through throughout my life. Today, I have grown to develop a deep interest in the multidimensional and interdisciplinary nature of the field of business management and how different factors like technology, social science, financial management, human resource management, statistical knowledge, analytical and strategic abilities come and work together to optimize business supervision and drive business growth.
