Why did you choose to attend UT Tyler?

The one reason I chose The University of Texas at Tyler is because it has a strong course structure in machine learning, android programming, computer vision, database systems and cyber-security along with a reasonable tuition fee and professors with whom you can establish lifelong relationships and who are always available for the students. Additionally, UT Tyler has a really beautiful campus surrounded by nature which stands out as a peaceful and serene place.

What are your career goals and how does your graduate program support them?

I aspire to become a Software Architect in order to play a prominent role in building the future to design and develop software systems and applications coupled with my 6+ years of IT experience. In this journey I will keep myself updated with the innovative technologies which are being developed every day. I envision myself as the Vice President of a company in a few years.

What do you like most about UT Tyler?

The one thing I really appreciate is the one-on-one attention from the professors, which helps to improve student-faculty interaction. The coursework in the Computer Science graduate program gave me the opportunity to build a very broad knowledge base in this field with a lot of opportunities opening to explore my career in web development, software programming, android development, data analysis and project management.
