Four Years of Part-Time Master's Study: The Journey Culminates!

After four busy yet fulfilling years, I have finally completed my part-time master's degree! This journey has been filled with challenges, requiring me to constantly find a balance between work and coursework. Though demanding, my passion for exploring knowledge never wavered, and every step of learning and growth felt deeply rewarding.

My Graduate Study Footprints

Starting Line (2021): I took the 2021 graduate entrance exam and officially began my master's journey in September of that same year, studying under the guidance of my mentor.
Foundation Building (2021-2023): Over these two years, I systematically studied multiple core courses related to artificial intelligence and big data analytics, laying a solid foundation. I also successfully completed the practical components required by the university.
Exploration and Focus (2023): Starting in 2023, I began conceptualizing and preparing for my research topic and ultimately my master's thesis. An experience listening to Professor Zhang Hongyu's report on "Code Intelligence: Challenges and Progress" was like a beam of light that illuminated my research direction and solidified my future path—this was also one of the inspirations behind naming my blog "Code Milestone."
Sprint and Harvest (2023-2025): Centering on the "code intelligence" direction, I devoted myself fully to research and writing my thesis. After a year and a half of dedicated preparation, I successfully passed my master's thesis defense in May 2025 and will soon officially don my master's cap!

Growth and Achievements During Graduate Studies

Looking back on this learning journey, I achieved breakthroughs not only in knowledge and skills but also made some tangible accomplishments:

Independent Research: I independently discovered and completed a research project, achieving the expected positive results.
Academic Contribution: I completed the writing of a high-quality master's thesis.
Sharing Insights: During my studies, I had the privilege of publishing an academic paper.
Professional Certification: Amidst my graduate studies, I found time to pass the nationally certified Intermediate Software Designer exam and the CET-6 exam.

Future Horizons: Setting Sail Once Again

A master's degree is not a destination, but a new starting point! On the road ahead, I will:

Ride the Wave: Continuously follow and learn about the latest technologies and industry trends, constantly improving myself through practice.
Deepen Expertise: Firmly advance along the research and application path of "code intelligence."
Make Contributions: I look forward to finding my place in the flourishing AI wave, diving in, and making meaningful contributions!
