I did a summer cadetship at the Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing. I was given access to some of the most powerful super computers in Australia and introduced to an industry I had previously no knowledge of.

I worked on medical imaging techniques and made major breakthroughs which have since been made public and my work has been published. International companies such as NVIDIA became interested in this work and have contacted me since to work with me. This cadetship led to a part time position as a developer at the Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing where I am still working.
