Dear Sir/Madam,
I am excited to apply for the Software Developer Intern position at DRW in
London for Summer 2025. As a penultimate-year M.Eng Computing
student specializing in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at
Imperial College London, I am eager to bring my strong technical
background and passion for innovative problem-solving to your team.
During my internships at Autodesk and Angel Broking, I gained hands-on
experience in software development using C++, Python, Java, and
GoLang. At Autodesk, I developed an algorithm in C++ to partition model
surfaces into distinct machining regions, utilizing multithreading and
concurrency techniques to reduce toolpath calculation time by 60%. This
experience enhanced my understanding of object-oriented design, data
structures, algorithms, and multi-threaded applications.
At Angel Broking, I developed a task management tool using Java and
GoLang, reducing manual task processing by 40%. I also improved the
test suite with JUnit and Testify, identifying critical edge cases in business
operations. These projects required me to collaborate closely with cross-
functional teams, honing my communication skills and ability to advocate
for innovative solutions.
In addition to my internships, I have worked on projects like developing an
operating system in C capable of running on a bare-metal 80x86
computer, implementing priority schedulers, and supporting virtual
memory systems. These experiences have given me exposure to network
programming, real-time programming, and low-level systems design.
I am particularly drawn to DRW's reputation for leveraging cutting-edge
technology in the trading industry. The opportunity to design and deploy
proprietary software solutions, such as decoders for raw data and
applications to facilitate communication around executed trades, aligns
perfectly with my interests and skill set. I am excited about the prospect
of conducting robust research and employing statistical analytics on large
data sets to drive innovation at DRW.
I am confident that my strong software development skills, understanding
of computational intelligence, and deep curiosity to learn new
technologies make me a strong candidate for this role. I am eager to
contribute to DRW's success and to learn from your team of experienced
technologists.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the
opportunity to discuss how my background aligns with your needs.
Sincerely,
Mann Patira
