Aspiration Statement

There are some universities in United States where I plan on applying for my PhD in Neural Networks. In five years, I’d love to be a true apparel industry expert with successful end-to-end project management experience under my belt. I also want to become an entrepreneur. I plan on opening my own software house based in Pakistan, because I want to help other web developers to enhance their skills.
