During my last academic year, I had a chance to do my internship and master thesis in XXXX company. There I developed not only my knowledges in web development but also real working experiences in an international environment. My thesis is related to the issues in Business Intelligent and Web 2.0. I obtained skills in J2EE programming and advanced web technologies for Enterprise Applications including Jboss, Portal/Portlet, Ajax, Web services,etc.. It was a great experience for me, which has focused my interests on the topic of Web 2.0 technologies.

After my graduation, I worked as a PHP developer for XXXX, an IT and business consulting company. I gained further experiences in web programming, project management and team-working.

This program proposes areas of research that match my interests, such as Business Process Management and Semantic Web Technologies. I have no doubt in mind that I have enough knowledges, skills and competence to pursue the PhD program in your research center.
