Testimonials

	Natkamon Tuamprathom, Associate Operations Analyst, University of Manchester “I have been working on numerous automation projects, one of which involved coding brokerage fees into the system, subsequently eliminating the manual trade procedure. I considered this project to be my greatest achievement as I was able to fully utilise my skills in Business Analysis as well as learn a new skill on the job.”

	Yuxue Du, Support Specialist, Lancaster University “My time on-site has allowed me to connect with other experienced individuals, expand my knowledge of computer systems, servers and coding, as well as advance my critical analysing skills. I am thankful to all the people that gave me endless support, particularly my account manager at FDM and my current team.”

	Farayi Mukada, Java Data Analyst, Coventry University “Before I joined FDM, I didn't have any IT experience but had a passion for web development, so I applied for the Software Development stream (Java). I now work as a Data Analyst and as a lead developer on a project, responsible for translating the engineering concepts into insightful visualisations. The things I enjoy most about my job are the variation, with no two projects being the same, and being able to create tangible end products for users.”

	Swetha Thanabalasingam, Software Developer, Brunel University "My placement has been extremely beneficial for myself as both a developer and as a person working in the IT industry. I have gained a lot of knowledge and skills, but the best part has been the exposure I have had to different languages and systems."
