Question 5

Why are you passionate about technology?

Answer 5

• Adopting technology is something I always strive to do, as there are not many aspects of life which it can’t improve.
• For example, something as simple as waking up in the morning can be made easier with a sleep monitoring app.
• I find that utilising technology is one of the most effective ways to solve complex problems.
• I embraced technology during my degree by writing a MATLAB program to model and optimise the performance of a turbofan engine.
• I also worked as part of a team designing the Leeds Formula Student Race Car and used technology to computationally model my exhaust design in GT Power.
• I found that applying my logic to build up a computational model, and then analyse the data, was one of the most stimulating parts of this project.
• Finally, I have had also the chance to combine my passion for technology with my excellent communication skills at Midland Computer Services. In this customer support role I helped customers troubleshoot their issues on a daily basis.
