-I am very excited to apply for a Software Development internship at Optiver.
+I am very excited to apply for the Hardware Engineer Intern at IMC.
 I think it would be great to be able to work and learn about the challenges faced by a multinational trading 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 IMC.
 
-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.
+I have experience programming in C and Java, solving problems at systems and user levels.
+I also have experience in programming FPGAs with Verilog and VHDL.
+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 capital markets, beginning from family discussions and continuing to high school and university education.
 
-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 IMC would offer me some fantastic opportunities I would be unable to experience anywhere else.
+I find IMC's interest and work into algorithmic and computational trading to be fascinating.
+The use of technology to process and make sense of vast amounts of trading data in fractions of a second to analyse investments provides insights that have previously been unavailable and IMC's successful use of this technology is inspiring.
+The level of activity provided by technology allows a significant increase in trading frequency, which when paired with good information leads to excellent returns.
+I want to be a part of the evolving front of technological trading and want to do this with you.
 
 I look forward to hearing from you.
