About
Hi, I’m Zach. I am currently in my second year studying MEng Mechanical Engineering at University College London and will be studying at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign later this year as part of the study abroad program. I am actively looking for an internship for summer 2020 within investments.
Former experiences vary from Spring internships within Goldman Sachs & Citadel to a summer engineering at Urban Mobility Labs. In my spare time, I play defensive back for the UCL Emperors American Football team. Alongside this, I enjoy creativity. Whether that being design, web development or tinkering with a new dataset. I am proficient in a number of languages and technologies including Python, JavaScript (Node, Vue…), MATLAB and C++ to name a few.
