SOP Sample for MS in Computer Science in Canada - Fresher Profile

Statement of Purpose

The field of computer science has been a boon to mankind. The recent trends in the growth of this field have attracted quite a lot of individuals to apply their creativity and innovative thinking ability to benefit the lifestyle of humans. In all these cases, the two common things are "the human" and "the computer", and these are tightly knit to form the foundation of the present world. This has been my main motive for choosing a career in Computer Science and to provide improvements that are available to all sectors of society. Moreover, the service would not only provide me with a promising career but would also provide satisfaction and happiness that is beyond words to describe.

I have been an active and vivid learner who finds interest to learn and use the learning in what I do. My interest arose in Data Management for Business Intelligence and Data Integration, as I have worked on the related divisions of data mining at a technical and professional level. I am interning at [COMPANY_NAME] and acquired hands-on experience in processing the data. The data pull from upstream is performed using SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). The process of analyzing the required measures and creating them using SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS). Visualize these measures in a PowerBI report to represent them as per the requirement. The process of data cleaning and data manipulating is the usual action item assigned to me as an active team member. I have even developed soft skills in the workplace as we sync up with our [CITY] team daily to examine our specifications and discuss the issues.

I am a shortlisted trainee for [COMPANY_NAME] recruitment. During the training period, I had hands-on on languages like SQL and PL-SQL. The data dealing subjects makes me comfortable to learn and understand more and more in detail. May it be the logical queries to develop the datasets or to analyze the report structures, I do work and learn the concepts with great pleasure. All these learnings and experiences have aroused an aspiration to be a Data Analyst. The data-driven organization, for which I work for, had tuned me with all the fundamental requirements and essential skills to emerge as a splendid data analyst. I satisfy the constraints that demand as necessities to pursue courses on Data mining and integration. I have done a [COMPANY_NAME] Data Science Challenge course from [PLATFORM_NAME] during the second year of BTech. It has been a challenge to get a scholarship to pursue this course. Though the applicants were more in number, my application was selected as the points described to acquire a scholarship were accurate and relevant. The course helped me to develop the probing questions as it includes statistics and python programming. Further study on data manipulations would help to give my best as I have a beneficial experience that can support me to get an excellent job.

The other course that I would like to select would be Machine Learning, the most trending subject each software student strives to master. I am aware of the AI and ML basics. I will learn the related programming courses before joining to increase my primary standards. To enhance and develop my knowledge and to fulfil my dreams, I require a significant factor that supports my aspirations. The [UNIVERSITY_NAME] is a prestigious institution and pursuing a degree from this organization will have great importance to receive prominent opportunities in my career.

My further option of course selection would be Programming Languages - Algorithms, a vital part of the course Computer Science. I am excited to code as I can learn various technical languages. I am good at C, C++, Java, Python, SQL languages. I was a mentor for a code-age club in my institution where I have shared my knowledge with my peers and juniors. As a mentor, I have also explained the scenarios of how time and code complexity intensifies the code usability. I can say that I am an enthusiastic student in my batch who pays keen attention to the lectures. We had a computer organization in the third year of my undergraduate. This subject was an eye-opener and helped me understand the functioning of the computers at a micro-level. I see a potential for research and work in the field that leads the exploration and helps other developers in creating the next big innovation.

I was the first girl to be recruited among the students of my batch, but what stood out was the total process of selection. I learned a whole lot about the selection process and how to respond to stressful situations. Overall, I can proudly state that the reason for the selection was my coding skills. Learning more in the field of programming will help me to work on the development phrase for particular applications and websites. As every software internally runs on code, I would feel great to work on developing the programming techniques.

If given an opportunity, I would even feel pleased to learn Software Engineering subject in profundity. I have notable experience in software management, as my current work claim is a Software Engineer Intern. I work in a team where clients often belong to [COMPANY_NAME]. I am aware of the procedural steps followed in a project. From the initial stage of creating an approach document to verify the strategic plan, then develop the required solution. After the User Acceptance Test (UAT), we deploy the entire build in the Production phase. I suppose that I apprehend both theoretically and practical understanding of the software management system. I can learn the subject with high competence as the environment is quite familiar.

To infer my relevant achievements, I would like to initiate with my mini-project 'Predicting the Top-N popular Videos via a Cross-Domain Hybrid Model' based on the IEEE research paper with INSPEC Accession Number, [ID_NUMBER]. I learned about the linear regression and implemented to calculate the popular videos among all the upload videos. The result is a web application of processing the popularity scale and visualizing using a graphical view. Furthermore, successful completion of '70-771 - Querying Data with Transact-SQL' and '70-778 - Analyzing and Visualizing Data with Microsoft Power BI' Microsoft Certifications. The acquaintance on Azure Databricks, MDX and DAX languages, PowerBI reports supported me to acquire various skills in all the associated fields. I am honoured to receive the 'Spot award' from the organization for all my efforts at [COMPANY_NAME].

Additionally, I concentrated on enhancing the management skills by participating in the National Workshop - 'Commerce Organization for Emerging Entrepreneurs' directed by [INSTITUTION_NAME] to explore several marketing techniques. I am an active participant in co-curriculum activities that were conducted in my college. I anchored for the farewell event conducted by my college during the 6th semester to send off the heavy hearts and wish them a wonderful life. I am sure that it was a fun event for everyone and I managed to pull it off in an organized and joyful way. I can be a keen team member as well as a potential competitor to handle the task. The commitment and contribution to the team is the ability that I developed in the work environment.

The [UNIVERSITY_NAME] is a prestigious institution that can provide competent assistance to me to accomplish goals in my career. I believe that all the mentioned information describes my professional, technical and academic potentials. I hope that studying at this university will enhance my knowledge and proffers many opportunities to secure an excellent job.
