“ I completed my 4-year, Computer Science and Software Engineering degree in May 2018. My time in Maynooth has been an experience I’ll never forget. I learned an array of things throughout my academic years which I then got to apply in placement. In Maynooth, CSSE students complete a 6-month placement in 3rd year. I completed mine in an international trading firm called Susquehanna International Group (SIG) in the IFSC. Here I put into practice the things I learned in college. At SIG I got a taste of the professional life and learned an abundance of new things. It ranged from new programming languages to working with state of the art system frameworks.
One of my university highlights was being a representative of the student body by being a student ambassador, orientation leader and academic rep. It involved working in open days, giving campus tours and helping the new first years settle in during their first week of college. After graduating, I accepted an offer to work at another financial services company called Fidelity Investments.”
