Experience
Summer 2024
Everpay
JUNIOR PRODUCT DEVELOPER
During my internship at Everpay, I had the unique opportunity to explore various aspects of the multi-currency global payments business, including operations, finance, compliance and product development. My flexible role granted me the autonomy to identify the needs of a growing fintech company and provide solutions, ranging from Excel templates to Python scripts.
Additionally, I expressed an interest in quantitative finance, which led to me being allowed to work on my own statistical trading algorithms in my spare time. Through this, I learned to leverage the QuantConnect platform to perform backtests and optimisations.
My performance during the internship was well-received, and I was offered the opportunity to continue with Everpay in a part-time capacity during my final year of University.
