LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION I am pleased to recommend Saumya Raj for the Master’s program in the Computer Science Department at the University of XXX. Saumya is working as Senior Software Engineer at Samsung Research and Development Bangalore for more than two years. I have known her throughout her tenure in my capacity as Reporting Manager. Her communication skills, enthusiasm, coding, and computer programming knowledge have made it evident that Saumya is a promising employee. In recognition of her skills, she has been assigned the position of Culture Champion Representative in an 11-member team. Furthermore, her propensity for multitasking, problem-solving ability, and attention to detail are unquestionably outstanding traits. Saumya has played several important roles in the organization, which have brought her expertise to the fore. She completed her internship program of 6 months (in the final year) in the Samsung R&D department. In the technical field, she is well-versed with C++ and Python programming languages. She has proven her expertise in algorithms, data structure, operating systems, Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Object-Oriented Programming, and Computer Networks. Her contribution to the squad is exemplary. She has a knack of grasping fresh ideas and developing characteristics. She took on writing local scripts and setting up a local workspace for checking SAM Score and Code Coverage. When it became a compulsory quality check for all releases, she accepted the responsibility of making the entire code free of warnings on all platforms. Diligent and organized, Saumya quickly learned software and technology systems that were unfamiliar to her when she started her job. She cleared the Software Competency Advanced Test, which demonstrated her excellent programming skills. Her enthusiasm is not a sudden phenomenon but carefully nurtured over a period of time through her participation in different events. She was assigned to develop a ROBOT BT Framework for Protocol Testing of Data Packets for the ODP DU platform, which was crucial for internal code quality testing. She was in charge of the entire project and established the structure as a whole. Her excellent organizational and communication skills, and decision-making ability contributed to the success of those events. Initially, when remote working became the new-normal due to the Covid pandemic, she had some difficulty connecting with global counterparts remotely and transferring knowledge, but she recognized this as a bottleneck and quickly resolved it. Thereafter, she could handle all concerns and manage and work remotely. Apart from usual office responsibilities, Saumya took pride in participating in training activities and employee engagement programs. She is the team's Cultural 20-20 Champion/Representative, working at the organizational level as a liaison between the management and employees. In that role, she promotes innovative cultural practices within the team. I can confidently assert that her interests in event management, social and extracurricular activities, and skill development will help her achieve success in her higher studies. Saumya has my most earnest recommendation for the Master’s Program in Software Engineering at XXX University, and I would be happy to furnish additional details if needed.
