My Study Plan
I have visited China twice with my family because of my father's business. Although it was a short time, I set my sight for china as my destination to take master program, i am interested to enroll at Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) because BIT has Software Engineering major as one of its master programs. BIT is one of the world's top universities in the china and having an outstanding reputation and ranking in global standards and a BIT degree is recognized internationally. Studying in BIT also give me chances to learn china cultures and language which has been recognized as one of the international language beside English. Despite this is my first time to study overseas, i feel very excited with the diversity of people who learn at BIT. It will let me to learn their cultures too.
Indonesia classified as a developing country ."Indonesia's investment climbed 30.6 percent to 93 trillion rupiah ($9.6 billion) in the three months ended March 31 from a year earlier, M. Chatib Basri, chairman of the Investment Coordinating Board, said April 22" quoted from Bloomberg website. This fact may presents many companies delicate to invest in Indonesia. Many of them haven't had a system that fit perfectly their needs . On the other hand, there are only few companies that make a system for others companies. Once I get my master program, working in international company such as Google, IBM, Intel, and Microsoft is my first step to achieve my dream which is to make a Software House in Indonesia.
While I was completing my bachelor degree in BINUS UNIVERSITY, I learnt how to make a program, website, server client application and system. When i had finished my bachelor, the first thing i did realize is that the knowledge and skills which i had obtained in are not enough to compete with the others.
In order to finish my thesis in bachelor program, i was required to do intern in some companies. I had my intern at Software and Website Company called ISYS for 6 months .After 6 months and my thesis has done, they called me to work permanently as their PHP programmer. The first project that i received was a website campaign for Sunsilk (Shampoo brand), the campgain is called Hairfashion. I was told by my ex-boss to make a new environment for the system. That was the first biggest system which I had made. From registration, login as admin or visitor, managing contents(news, photos and comments) until managing users (banning and deleting) must be managed form the system. As soon as I started the project , the first problem was understanding someone else codes. It was very confusing the old system didn't have good documentation. In my early study, I didn't always make a good documentation after I had made a program. Then I realized making a good documentation is so essential. The second problem I encountered was client requests which almost drove me crazy. When there was only 2 days left, the client started to make request features which weren't occurred at all the meeting that have been done. As 3 months passed, i have make 3 website and launched them perfectly yet i feel that my knowledge and skill aren't enough, I decided to quit and take master program. My ex-boss also told me that BIT is good for my passion to study.
Through a master program, i will pursue my passion for developing innovative software and every single related aspect. I eager to improve my knowledge and skills about software architecture and software project management. If possible, i will look forward to collaborate on real-world, do team-based projects with measurable results with some international client such as Google, Microsoft, IBM and Intel. After Finding BIT have a program that fulfill my desire to learn all about software, i feel very relieved because it is hard to find university that meets my expectation.
With the Software engineering skills and experiences that I will gain from BIT and my future workplace, I am confident that I will be a successful build my Software House .
