STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Mohammed Ali Mirza

I am a person who was always enchanted by creativity and problems


requiring critical thinking. By knowing the application of Information
technology across various Industries and the kind of skills required to solve
a critical problem, it was no doubt that it intrigued me to pursue my
undergraduate Studies in “Information Technology Engineering”. With
four years of my undergraduate studies, where I studied the fundamentals
of computer programming and after extensively applying those principles
practically during my four year career in Software Development, my
curiosity to get an in-depth knowledge in Computer Science has increased
manifold. I have, hence, decided to continue my journey in the field by
enhancing my knowledge through a “Master’s Degree in Computer
Science” provided by your University. I am quite confident after my strong
fundamentals that I learned in my undergraduate combined with an
extensive amount of experience that I gained by working in an IT sector,
had given me a systematic and methodical approach required to excel in
the Master Degree in Computer Science provided by Trinity College
Dublin.

My journey towards programming started after I completed my 12th


Grade, when one of my relative, who is a Software Developer, taught me
how to write basic programs in Java. The analytical skills required for
writing a program fascinated me to such an extent that I finally decided to
pursue my undergraduate Studies in Information Technology. During my
four years of undergraduate, I was exposed to some of the cardinal
concepts of Computer Science like Object Oriented Programming, Data
Structures, Operating System, Computer Networks, Software Project
management, Software testing, etc. Overall, I assume that my
undergraduate understanding would benefit me to tackle challenges that I
will face during my Graduate Studies.
After completing my undergraduate studies, I began my career as a
Software Engineer at Cazaayan Software Labs, an IT service provider,
providing web and mobility solutions to different Industries. Here, I got a
chance to work on an Android application for Bombay Stock Exchange,
one of the fastest and largest Stock Exchange of Asia. After working on
this project for more than a year, I finally started working at
Mouthshut.com, a product based company responsible for providing
genuine product reviews to consumers. It was here, I realize how “Data
Science and Machine learning” could help in analyzing different kinds of
data that came as a review from consumers. The analytical and statistical
skills required in machine learning fascinated me to such an extent that I
finally decided to get an in-depth knowledge in Data Science, one of the
major reasons for pursuing my graduate studies. I believe that my practical
experience has provided me with the discipline and capabilities required
for pursuing a Master's Degree at TCD.

I wish to earn an MS degree in Computer Science followed by an in-depth


research in Data Science and Machine learning. I have communicated with
my lecturers and colleagues about my choice of university and I have
applied to a Master’s in Computer Science at TCD because of its reputable
place of providing computing resources and research facilities required to
excel in the Computer Science.

I believe that my dedication to pursue my graduate studies, my projects


and my strong academics in various areas of Computer Science will be
helpful in pursuing my graduate studies. It would be a great honor for me if
I will get an opportunity to learn under the guidance of one the eminent
faculties of TCD. I trust the Admission Committee shares my excitement
and gives me the admission. I expect being a part of the Fall 2018
incoming class.
