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. +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 Credit Suisse. -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. +I am also very 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 the technical background and communication training has enabled me to approach problems from an unconventional position, often providing novel solutions. +Additionally, I have an interest in the movement of capital, beginning from family discussions and continuing to high school and university education. +I greatly enjoy reading about the latest movements of companies, particularly within the tech sector where I also have technical understanding. -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 Credit Suisse would offer some fantastic opportunities I would be unable to experience anywhere else. +The size, scale and history of Credit Suisse amazes and inspires me, due to its reach and potential for impact on the world. +Being a Bulge Bracket investment bank, the scope of investments undertaken are unlike those anywhere else and have the potential to direct the course of global economics. +This provides the bank and those working within the ability to direct the world towards a better future and to make a real difference. +It is for this ability to make a difference that I want to intern with you. I look forward to hearing from you. -- Gitblit v1.9.3
