Please review and advice about this Motivation Letter ? I need to reduce this words count from 600 to 500 words as requirements of application. Please advice which part that I can to remove ?
Dear Sir or Madam,
For nearly 30 years, Jakarta has been my home-a city that has shaped both my life and career. While transportation is meant to enhance mobility, in Jakarta, it has become my daily source of frustration. The government's plan to relocate Indonesia's capital city to alleviate Jakarta's notorious traffic, raises a critical question in my mind: Can relocating a capital city solve the deeper challenges of transportation, or do we only need smarter and more sustainable systems? This challenge has driven my professional journey and passion for geoinformation technology, leading me to pursue the promising master's program in Transportation and Geoinformation Technology at KTH.
My journey began by joining a research organization with a degree in Forestry Engineering, where I developed a passion for biodiversity conservation, especially safeguarding the Komodo dragon. Working with geospatial remote sensing, routing networks and spatial-temporal analytics, I uncovered how roads infrastructure as consequences of human expansion were shrinking and fragmenting Komodo dragon habitats, leading to increased roadkill incidents. These crucial findings were featured as key recommendations in the national strategic conservation plan for the Komodo dragon (2020 - 2030), endorsed by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. This firsthand experience made me realize the urgent need for sustainable solutions. It also sparked a deeper passion in me to continue exploring advanced geospatial analysis, with a clear goal of developing solutions that minimize environmental impact while meeting the infrastructure needs of growing regions.
My journey in geoinformation technology took a significant turn when I joined Esri Indonesia, a global leader in geospatial software. One of my most pivotal experiences was collaborating with The Naval Hydro-Oceanography Center and the Ministry of Transportation to enhance maritime safety and sustainability transportation. This opportunity ignited my passion for using geoinformation technology to solve real-world challenges. By leveraging real-time vessel movement data from the Automatic Identification System (AIS) and employing big data and geo-artificial intelligence on the ArcGIS platform, I effectively analyzed traffic patterns. Additionally, integrating remote sensing data as environmental variables of the Coral Triangle reefs allowed me to identify critical areas were vessel traffic overlaps with biodiversity hotspots. This finding was highly critical for Navy organizations to prioritize areas that require charting updates for navigation maps services that promote safety and environmental stewardship. This journey made me realize the vital interplay between transportation efficiency and ecological preservation, reinforcing my commitment to continuously developing innovative geospatial solutions that prioritize both efficiency and sustainability.
The more I immerse myself in developing geospatial solutions, the more passionate I become about advancing my expertise in geoinformation technology. My daily experiences with the challenges of Jakarta's traffic, along with the future development of Indonesia's new capital city, drive my desire to learn and innovate. To tackle these issues effectively, I am eager to pursue an education that offers a systems-based approach to managing the complexities of transport infrastructure, while incorporating sustainability practices that consider socio-economic, environmental, and ecological factors. This is why KTH's master's program in Transport and Geoinformation Technology stands out as the perfect next step in my journey.
In addition, Sweden's globally recognized leadership in innovation and sustainability, demonstrated through real-world success stories, offers me invaluable learning experiences. By combining these valuable experiences, I am confident that I will develop the tools and knowledge needed to tackle Indonesia's transportation challenges. With this blend of expertise and advanced education, I am eager to contribute to Indonesia's transportation development in wider career opportunities (e.g. as consultant, researcher, and engineer at private or national government authorities)-with specific ambition in ensuring that the Indonesia capital relocation will result in a long-lasting transport infrastructure that balances both efficiency and sustainability in many aspects.
Sincerely,
Muhammad Azmi
