Personality

Intellectual Glutton

The earliest trait my family can recall about me was how much joy I got out of learning new things. That is the reason why my illiterate parents invested everything they could into my education. That hunger has remained with me, and it is a corner stone for my personality. I am and always was interested in a wide array of topics, and I learned early on to absorb information rapidly. This skill was mostly unfocused, until I built the next pillar of my personality.

When I was 15 a friend of mine showed me how to make HTML files on my tablet and run them on my browser, and that was love at first sight. I had finally found somewhere to channel my ravenous hunger for knowledge. For some reason programming was the one task I was motivated enough to actually want to master. Every afternoon for about 3 years straight was spent in my school's computer lab making games. This culminated in me being top of my IT class and studying Computer Science at university.

The third pillar of my personality is the most recent, and the most valuable. I was always a lonely child who couldn't connect with other people. One day my best friend invited me to the debate club at break, and that's where I learned how to interact with an audience and a team. When you meet up with me in the near future you will find it unbelieavable that I used to be a shy 16 year old with few friends. I have learned to ineract with others empathetically, and the drive and ability to connect have become a corner stone in my life.

Super Powers

This stays between us ;)

Will of Fire

I am capable of great feats not because I am extraordinary in my inherent abilities, but because when I have my eyes set on a target I dedicate myself to it fully.

Sharingan

There is an ability in the anime series Naruto, where the user can learn an ability by observing it once. My fast reading speed and vast stores of knowledge grant me a very similar ability in our world.

Plot-Armour

Like any good hero I have a healthy dose of plot armour that means I can defeat any challenge with "the power of friendship". You laugh now, but I am serious I have the ability to lift the spirit of those around me to reach a common goal. The hero charisma comes in handy too.

Camouflage

I blend in very well as a regular civilian with valuable corporate skills such as Software Development and Business Analysis. But you've read my CV, so you already know all of that.

Why SovTech?

Short Answer: I'm feeling your vibe

Value and Culture Fit

The only way you get a good team is by building one deliberately. The recruitment process that you follow is enough evidence for me that the team on the other side must be of high quality. I embody all of your Spex and I believe that they are a recipe for us to do great things together. I would like to be a part of that.

A good Graduate Programme

A good technical skill base, soft skill nurturing, a great team cultture, and am emphasis on mentorship. This is the perfect bedrock for any young career, and I can tell that a lot of thought went into setting the programme up in this way.

Jealousy

I realized that I cannot do anything either than programming because I get an overwhelming feeling of jealousy when someone else is coding and I am not. With every step of this application process I realized that this is a great opportunity. So great that I would actually feel something about the rejection, which is not the case for many applications. Alongside reflecting on where I can improve, I would be so jealous of whoever else gets this opportunity if I don't.
