here is my statement of purpose. I am an Indian student planning my masters in the USA. Look through the content and review it and provide feedbacks to improve.

From eighth grade onward, computers and mobile devices fascinated me. When I got my own computer, I explored it by playing video games and experimenting with basic-level pattern programs using the C language. In my 10th grade, after watching the movie "Iron Man," I was captivated by Jarvis, the artificial intelligence in the movie. That's the moment which created a spark in me and made me decide to pursue my career in Computer Science. I chose it as my major in High School, where I learned the basics of programming and object-oriented languages like C++ and Python. As the next step of my dream, I entered a reputable college affiliated with Anna University to pursue my engineering degree in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. My decision to specialize in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science was heavily influenced by my fascination with Jarvis. 

During my Undergraduate studies, my department faculties have given me a strong foundation in my field of interests such as Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. My curriculum also covers other important subjects including Algebra, Calculus, Discrete Structures and Probability and Statistics. Data Structures and Algorithms, principles of object-oriented programming, AI, Computer Networks, Cloud Computing and Data Base Management which greatly helped me to understand how to approach a problem and solve them. (Add a continuity point) Building on this strong academic foundation, I was eager to gain hands-on experience so during my second year I approached Centre for Collaborative Innovation (CoIN) at my college which is the place we get to work in industrial projects and gain experience in solving real world problem. During my initial phase at CoIN, I worked on several projects as a junior assistant developer,primarily focused on coding simple modules and debugging errors. And after seeing my interest in research and development skills, I got a project “Visgenix-Facial Attendance System” which trained more than 400 faculty members to regularly use the system within the campus environment. This allowed me to explore a lot of new concepts in machine learning and helped me in improving my leadership, teamwork, and management skills.

As a result, through industrial collaboration from CoIN i got an internship offer from “Bi-Metal Bearings” as to work as a project intern where me and my team was to solve a problem to reduce the time which taken for quality checking after the production of metal bearings. After discussing with my team and mentor we proposed two solutions for quality check. One is “Mission Vision System” in which missing features in the bearings are identified and removed from the production line, this was installed in all 6 production lines of the company. Another was “AI-Driven Vision Inspection System” with the protentional of AI with computer vision we identified small cracks, dents and scratches in those bearings. Usually, it take more than 100 workers to manually inspect the bearings and identify defects and almost they produce more than 10,000 bearings per day and it takes around 3-4 days to evaluate but with our projects it takes the same amount of time as production. After successfully completing 77days of internship period me and my team members received a certificate of appreciation from the Manager of Bi-Metal Bearings. I got the chance to improve and enhance my problem solving, team worker and leadership skills.

I have also worked on mini projects during my semesters which involve “Attention Assist System for Drivers” which is designed to monitor and enhance safety to drivers by alerting them when they fall asleep while driving. Another one which is “Pothole hole Detection” which can be attached in public transport with GPS module. This allows to identify the potholes with exact location, which the authority can have a look and proceed their maintenance. Here I got to know more in-depth concepts about deep learning models. Currently, I am working on a research project under the guidance of Mrs. P.V. Kavitha for her PhD on "Image Captioning", with plans to publish in the journal within a couple of months.

Apart from academics, I was an active member at the Quiz Club, and I have organized a couple of technical quizzes. My department provided opportunities to participate  in various events and Hackathons with my team members. My team was the finalist, in which we were selected in top 10 out of 380 plus teams around Tamil Nadu for the Hackathon conducted by TN Police, Cyber Crime Wing in which we got appreciation from retired IPS Dr. C. Sylendra Babu. Additionally, our team was the finalists for the innovation idea challenge ProDiGi a national-level hackathon organized by Cognizant Technology Solutions. We also secured the the runner-up position in a project presentation during inter-college E-week celebrations.

My academic journey and practical experiences have solidified my passion for AI and Data Science. I am eager to pursue a master's degree in the USA, where I will have access to cutting-edge research, world-class faculty, and collaborative environments that will allow me to deepen my expertise in AI and Data Science. With the rapid advancements in these fields, I believe that studying in such an environment will equip me with the skills necessary to lead innovative projects that have a tangible impact on industries and society. I am confident that this opportunity will bring me closer to achieving my long-term goal of becoming a researcher and developer 

Thank you for considering my application.
