Adam French
I am a computer science and mathematics student seeking to undertake a summer internship specialising in programming, computer science, mathematics or design. My course has taught me fundamental computer science and mathematical insight. I wish to apply this knowledge in a professional context. I would honored to apply my expertise to real-world senarios.
I am looking for an internship between June—September 2023, before my 3rd and final year at the University of Leeds. Currently, I am on exchange at the University of Waterloo, Canada which is held as a highly regarded instutuion for computer science.
