| | | I am very excited to apply for a Software Development internship at Optiver. |

| | | I think it would be great to be able to work and learn about the challenges faced by a multinational trading firm. |

| | | I am a Master's of Electrical Engineering with Business student, finishing in 2022. |
|---|
| | | I have completed my Bachelor of Science and Diploma of computing in 2020, also from the University of Melbourne. |
|---|
| | | In these, I have been exposed to a wide range of problems and have been tasked with finding creative solutions within constrains, which I believe should help with a placement at Optiver. |

| | | |
|---|
| | | I have experience programming in C and Java, solving problems at systems and user levels. |
|---|
| | | I also have some experience with programming hardware in Verilog and VHDL. |
|---|
| | | For work, I have done some development with embedded systems, and am generally interested in the tight performance constraints there presented. |
|---|
| | | In my own time, I have played with various open server and enterprise level technologies in my own time, particularly virtualisation and containerisation. |
|---|
| | | In addition to technical skills from university, I am used to working within teams on technical challenges, both at university and in the outside workspace. |
|---|
| | | Often these challenges have required me to coordinate with my teammates to research new information and work towards a solution to the task at hand. |
|---|
| | | I have found that a technical background and communication training has enabled me to approach problems from an unconventional position, often providing novel solutions. |
|---|
| | | Additionally, I have found myself increasingly interested in the decisions made by large organisations, playing out what I would have done and trying to predict the outcomes. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | I believe that a position with Optiver would offer some fantastic opportunities I would be unable to experience anywhere else. |
|---|
| | | The constraints faced from algorithmic trading fascinate me, particularly due to the emphasis placed on, and potential gain from, marginal improvements in performance. |
|---|
| | | Additionally, I think the business of proprietary trading is an interesting one, being that as it is the firm's own money being traded rather than a group of investors, the firm exposes itself to more risk creating a larger emphasis on quality trades. |
|---|
| | | The sale of derivatives to institutions seems like an interesting additional method of raising revenue, requiring a sizeable technological back end to mitigate risk. |
|---|
| | | I believe that a position with Deloitte would offer me some fantastic opportunities I would be unable to experience anywhere else. |
|---|
| | | The size, scale and influence of Deloitte amazes and inspires me, due to its reach and potential for impact on the world. |
|---|
| | | Being one of the ``Big 4'' accounting firms, its reach is unparalleled and has the potential to direct the course of global economics. |
|---|
| | | This provides the firm and those working within the ability to direct the world and make a real difference. |
|---|
| | | It is for this ability that I want to intern with you. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | I look forward to hearing from you. |
