Dear Hiring Team,
I am a recent Masters in Information Technology graduate currently residing in Chennai, India and will be in Austin, TX from late July looking to do internships there and pursue my future career. Please accept the following letter as a sign of my interest in completing an internship at your company for the duration of my stay.
Three months ago, I completed my Masters in Information Technology at MOP Vaishnav College for Women - Chennai, India, the same college where I completed my Bachelors in Information Systems Management in April of 2017. During my Bachelor’s degree program, I learned database system concepts, management of information systems, and how to manage databases and tables in SQL and PL/SQL. For my final year major project, I designed the various UML diagrams detailing the components, operations, and internal structure of a restaurant management website.
During my Master’s degree program, I learned various programming languages such as Java, C++, and Python, as well as big data and software engineering and testing concepts. For my mini project, I implemented and tested a virtual desktop assistant using python. For my final year major project, I completed an internship at Fidelity Investments, Chennai, where I implemented and tested a search engine using Python and Hive to extract the metadata (residing database, table, and column) of a given entity in a database.
I have completed a Graphic Design and Web Development certificate course from Image Creative Education – Chennai, India. I have done two projects in this course. In my first project I rebranded Nestle as the company of my choice and designed business stationary, posters, recipe books, billboards, banners, tshirts, bags, and caps for the same based on the new logo I constructed using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. In my second project I created the layout and UI of responsive websites using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and used HTML5, CSS, Javascript, Jquery, and Bootstrap to program the same with Adobe Dreamweaver. The online portfolio for my certificate course can be accessed using the following url: https://sraman26.github.io/sraman26_portfolio/portfolio.html.
My soft skills include good written and oral communication skills, speech and presentation, ability to work in teams, graphic design and visual communication, and proficiency in foreign languages.
I would welcome the opportunity for a personal interview with your company. Thank you for your time, consideration, and forthcoming response.
Thank you,
Sitara Raman
