More About Me
More about me — I’m based in East Sussex, and I'm willing to commute a long distance for the right job.
I am 22 years old and currently studying Software Engineering at Solent University in Southampton.
Why do I want a placement?
The reason I would love a placement year is because I've realised that I learn best when I am in a real working environment,
applying what I’m taught in a practical way. I would love to experience the professional software industry and see how
larger teams break down and solve problems together. At university I’ve only worked in groups of two or three, so being
part of a bigger team is something I'm really excited about.
What hobbies do I have?
I have a few hobbies, but most revolve around self-improvement and discipline. I go to the gym daily and play padel with
university friends, constantly trying to improve my fitness. I also focus heavily on my nutrition and sleep to give myself
enough energy throughout the day.
Another big hobby of mine is investing. I’m passionate about the stock market — I keep a strict portfolio, and I’m also a funded
futures trader. I enjoy the challenge of it, the constant learning, and the way it completely changes how you think. The market
changes daily, so it keeps me sharp and motivated to improve.
And of course, I’m a bit of a petrolhead. I love cars — which people sometimes find surprising — but there’s just something
about the adrenaline of driving around a racetrack that excites me. I’ve always been into motorsport. At 18 I saved up and bought a
car I’d wanted for years, and I spent a lot of time tuning and modifying it to make it the best it could be. That passion has slowed
down a bit since motorsport costs and insurance for younger drivers keep rising, but the love is still there.
