About Me

I am a hard working and dedicated university student who loves computers in their entirety. Computers allow me to be creative, solve problems, and express myself in many facets including graphic and web design as well as coding. I am self-taught in JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Rust, HTML, CSS, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Microsoft Office Suite. Formally, I've learned Java, Adobe Animate, Android Development, and Turing. In my spare time, I decompress by cooking, woodworking, and rowing. I also love to travel around the world and experience different cultures.

To whom it may concern,

I am in my fourth year at the Lassonde School of Engineering, studying Computer Science with a minor in Economics. During my three years at university, I have broadened my computer knowledge to include JavaScript, TypeScript, Android, C/C++, Verilog, and RISC-V Assembly. I also expanded my business acumen in studying micro and macro economics. I am excited to enhance my program with a coop opportunity where I can apply my learning in a practical environment.

During the previous year, I was fortunate enough to have a twelve-month internship at Sanofi Pasteur, a leader in the pharmaceutical industry. Throughout my placement, I learned a great deal about corporate structure and working as part of a large team. It was an invaluable experience for me, and helped me understand how to become an effective worker and leader. Being part of a large company helped me to build a foundation for my future endeavours.

For several summers, I was a camp counsellor at Green Acres Day Camp where I honed my leadership ability. In my last placement, I was recognized as the "Staff of The Summer" in my unit. I worked with campers with behavioural issues and helped them develop strategies to manage the chaotic environment of camp. It was an incredible opportunity and I am happy to have had made their summers memorable.

In my community, I sat on the Youth Board at Beth David Synagogue. In my first year I was the Vice President of Social Action & Charity where I organized several community events that were well received by the attendees. After successfully running for President, I continued to create, organize, and run engaging programs for the youth in my community. My role as President was to guide and oversee the Board and implement the strategic direction provided by our Youth Director.

In High School, I was active in the Computer Programming Team. During my time as a leader, I led a group of my peers in our school's coding competitions. We placed top 5 in multiple events. In addition, I was selected to be a coach for the visiting grade 7 & 8 students when they participated in our annual Science & Engineering Olympics.

I look forward to speaking with you about your co-op program to determine if there is a fit with my skill set, strong work ethic, and leadership ability.

Sincerely,

Kyle Schwartz
