| | | 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 very excited to apply for the Consulting Summer Vacationer Program at Deloitte. |

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

| | | |
|---|
| | | I am finishing my Bachelor of Science in 2020 at the University of Melbourne, majoring in Electrical Systems. |
|---|
| | | There, I am also completing a Concurrent Diploma of Computing. |
|---|
| | | I intend to continue with my education with a Masters of Engineering in 2021. |
|---|
| | | In these, I have been exposed to a wide range of problems which have presented me with the opportunities to develop my technical, interpersonal and communication skills which I hope should help with a placement at Optiver. |
|---|
| | | 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 Deloitte. |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | I have experience programming in C and Java solving problems at systems and user levels. |
|---|
| | | I have also some experience with programming hardware in Verilog and VHDL. |
|---|
| | | I have also played with various open server and enterprise level technologies in my own time, particularly virtualisation and containerisation. |
|---|
| | | I have found my academic and personal experiences useful in employment, where I develop embedded systems. |
|---|
| | | I hope to be able to further my understanding of performance constrained computing through an internship with Optiver. |
|---|
| | | 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. |
|---|
| | | 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. |
