MASTER OF SCIENCE
IN COMPUTER SCIENCE
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Within the crucible of my academic sojourn that is marked with an innate propensity towards
technology innovation, I have discovered myself at the junction where the pursuit of the
Masters in Computer Science program with a particular focus on network security or cyber
security emerges to be the fulcrum on which my long-term aspirations pivot. The
philosophical watershed helps encapsulate the existential resonance of my foray into the
technical landscape, thereby igniting a cognitive paradigm that has significantly propelled my
personality towards the education precipice. My initiation into the realm of technology
germinated during my undergraduate journey in Applied Electronics and Instrumentation
Technology, an expedition that underwent a complete transformative metamorphosis and was
catalysed by the revelation of the symbiotic interplay between software and hardware.
Embarking upon my academic vacation, I have traversed the corridors of creativity and
innovation from childhood, greatly influenced by the cinematic ethos of the film Robot by
Rajnikanth towards the zenith of my scientific achievement by securing 23rd position within
the Young Scientist Award competition. My initiation into the esteemed institution of Rajagiri
School of Engineering and Technology further encapsulates the consummation of the
formative years culminated within the realisation of the 17 DOF BIPEDAL Robot that is
emblematic of personal prowess in applied electronics and instrumentation technology. My
pedagogy journey was also an odyssey that was underscored by multidimensional
engagement in the epistemological intricacies of technology and science, culminating in the
manifestation of inventive genius by creating the Laphover, a motor-propelled hoverboard
utilised within laptops. This innovative venture testifies to my intellectual abilities and
preludes my forays into technological entrepreneurship.
Traversing the precincts of erudition, my professional trajectory has burgeoned from software
engineering towards the echelons of the president's strategic acumen role as a sales executive
at VVDN Technologies. My foray into this particular role was not only limited to vocational
transition. Still, it was also an odyssey marked by the orchestration of the end-to-end deals
for the Digital Engineering Services business unit, propelled by my proficiency in negotiation
skills and panoptic comprehension of the client-centric development of solutions. My
professional metamorphosis was also underscored by the inherent commitment to continuous
professional development exemplified by personal persuasion of Java Programming language
certification while making crucial engagements within the corporate echelons. My scholarly

endeavours are a testament to my unwavering commitment to excellence and tenacity in
augmenting my diverse skill sets that seamlessly align with my career goals and objectives.
My foray into the realm discovered its apotheosis in the realisation and conceptualisation of
Shaw II, an innovative muscle signal amplifier for amputees. The highlight of this project
was the convergence of microcontrollers and software, thereby epitomising my ability to
synthesise diverse technology domains into an impactful and cohesive solution. The
culmination of my tenure in the undergraduate program also observed the fruition of 17 DOF
BIPEDAL Robot, which is an endeavour culminating within the attainment of the "O" grade,
which is indicative of my technical understanding and commitment towards excellence. My
other entrepreneur expeditions in the role of the Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer at
bymeawork.com LLP, which is an aggregator platform and navigated the technology through
the labyrinth of regulatory compliance, technological leadership and strategic partnerships.
My foray within this entrepreneurship was not only a commercial venture but also a
testament towards my strategic acuity and visionary leadership towards delineating
technological trajectory.
The epiphany that was burgeoned during my transition from the software engineering domain
to Presales helped delineate the vistas of security and computer networks, prompting my

persistent persuasion for a Master in Computer Science. The imperative towards traversing
the software and hardware continuum elucidated during my personal entrepreneur journey
also served as the foundation. It propelled me towards the computer network and security
crucible.
My aspirations of research in the long term are presently nebulous. They are the evidence of
my eagerness to explore emerging technologies during and after the completion of my
Master's, synthesising the practical knowledge from the industry experiences into pioneering
projects of research. My future trajectory lies in quenching my thirst for specialisation and
developing a deep understanding of security and computer networks, aligning with my goal
of contributing to innovative solutions within the security and network management domain.
