I’ve always been fascinated by research and development, especially work that benefits common people or the environment. The idea that my efforts may better someone’s life in an organizational manner or help create a greener planet motivates me. So after successfully passed every academic milestone in the first division of my education and career in IT, I intend to pursue my MS in Management Information Systems at UIC in order to build my research and development skills and work towards my interests in Cloud Computing and Database Organization and Visualisation, Data Mining, Data Integration, and Software Engineering.
After completing my diploma in Computer Engineering and bachelor’s degree in Computer Science & Engineering, I was interested in joining the Information Technology industry. So I pursued my dream by enrolling in a six-month Training in Database management & Data Warehouse and also other Software development and Testing Methodologies. During the course of my study in training, I learned to program and learn different techniques used in programming languages such as Java, Python, PLSQL, SQL, C#, which in turn, fascinated me to apply the concept in my major projects during academics and Internships.
Along with this, I am an Oracle certified Associate on Oracle 11gR2 Database Administration and Oracle Certified Associate in PLSQL Development and Oracle Certified Professional in Advanced PLSQL Development and Microsoft Certified Professional on Database Platform. All this different trainings and Certifications paths on Database Administration and Database Development helped me to learn the analysis of data, programming the databases and administration of databases.
During training for certifications and at the end of the course I got an Internship with iCEDQ Soft, where I gain knowledge about how to make use of Access, Excel, Oracle and other proprietary tools and Work with various groups to document processes and procedure related to data mining, organization and visualisation and reporting and also act as the liaison between the data collectors, data miners and the data consumer to ensure consistent and even results, Also, while as an Intern, There I worked as DBA and PLSQL Developer and learned about Distributed Storage Systems and Big Data and Hadoop technology cluster and also implemented various OLTP and OLAP databases and developed strong programming skills in PLSQL, Python and Java Programming.
Working with Abyss, Inc., is both challenging and rewarding, as we did not use any commercially available tool for testing but rather created, designed and developed our own automation scripts, frameworks, APIs to interface with the hardware, and evolve various automated test tools to check system performance, integrity, security, etc. After working as an PLSQL and DBA Intern with Abyss(iCEDQ), Inc., I joined Xpendablez Consultancy Services, there in the initial role of a Project Intern where I am tasked in a job on project related to the implementation of enterprise-wide data warehouse that would merge the databases of different divisions. By arranging the ETL informative tool, we handled to stage the data in the warehouse.
This data could be used to create various MIS reports as well as derive insights and indicators in real time. My work with Xpendablez Consultancy Services has provided me with valuable exposure in using Oracle databases, My SQL Databases, PostgreSQL and HP Vertica Databases to build applications for live business purposes.
This vigorous learning experience has given me a better grasp of the enormous prospect of technology to unfold advanced ideas, and ideas which not only help solve our rigid problems but also enhance our everyday lives, by ideal analysis and improvement. To create inventive technologies and carry research objectives to life, I will need applicable problem solving push and a ambitious surroundings that will help deepen my awareness in research.
A Master’s degree with practical knowledge will help me acquire these skills. In my 2 internships, I have got exposure and developed specific interests in the fields of Cloud Computing and Database Organization and Visualisation, Data Mining, Data Integration and Software Engineering. OU is one of the renowned Technological and innovation-based Institute in United States and houses research teams that work on the areas of my interest. If I get a chance, I would like to advance this expedition in your department.
While helping in developing automation tools for data storage and management, data governance, reporting and data migration, I gained a fair idea of the domain of SDLC, Agile Methodologies, Data Warehouse and Cloud Computing and Database Management & Organization. I substantiated my knowledge by studying more about specialized areas like Cloud Computing and Database Management & Database Organization and how it transforms complex data into graphics representations that enhance the perception and meaning of data. Column based data storage, one of the latest advances in the field of Database storage Systems, plays a vital role in reporting and analysis of data. Also, in many cases, Cloud Computing and Database Management & Database Organization is not very easy even with state-of-the-art techniques.
I want to specialize in the field of Cloud Computing and Database Management & Organization work domain as it offers and demands challenges and innovation and help the organization to run their business in efficient and effective manner. At UIC, I am especially excited by work being carried out by faculty department of UIC Research Institute.
I want to develop my skills and knowledge in this field by working in the project group such as Database Group, Information Retrieval Laboratories and other innovation-centric groups and use this knowledge to further my chances of a career in a research and development centers like Oracle Labs and SAP Labs. By working with this research group, I will grasp how enormous volume of unstructured data can be represented in a ocular and distinct format to relevant users. I may also get a chance to learn about the latest technology like ‘Big Data’, ‘Columnar Based Databases’, ‘Data & Database Centric Tools’ and invent ways to use it in health care, finance and telecom domain inefficient & cost effective manner.
