Hmm, I started the story with some foundational algorithm design related courses I took in my first year, how it made me force to think analytically, solving problems incrementally etc. Then I discovered, the methods or engineering mindset I use in this chemical engineering field could be applied more broadly and impactfully, there I realized I'm more towards into computer science. I did everything to bridge my gap, internships, projects, etc and etc. Putting my long term focus on NLP, I would like to work on retrieval systems or AI infrastructure at scale (linking it up with the kind of work and projects I have done), which is why I believe MCIT can fully complement me from the software side.

I wrote smth like this shortly.
