Hello,

I am Philippe Geukers, I graduated from the École de technologie supérieure in August 2023. As a bachelor in engineering, I am seeking an entry-level position in the industry to apply my knowledge and skills to real-world problems. With my solid academic foundation and experience in a variety of full-stack roles, I am confident that I can bring value to my future team.

During my time at Morgan Stanley and Ubisoft, I gained a wealth of technical knowledge and experience. At Morgan Stanley, I developed an application that saved 100 hours per year for operations by automatically prompting the update of customer tax information based on their financial activity. My technical expertise was also showcased in my work as an IT Developer at Ubisoft, where I developed full-stack applications and implemented JWT authentication to secure Rest APIs through Hashicorp Vault.

I also possess strong soft skills, including leadership, good communication and initiative, which I gained through founding the AlgoETS club and captaining the Champlain College Volleyball Team. As the president of AlgoETS, I led the development of bots and algorithms that optimize investments. Meanwhile, as captain of the volleyball team, I developed a strong sense of teamwork.

I am excited to leverage my skills, knowledge, and experience to contribute to your organization. Thank you for considering me, I look forward to hearing from you soon.
