<\/strong>Hi everyone, my name is Abi Ayoola. I\u2019m really excited to be here and to share my journey with you all. I\u2019d describe myself as thoughtful and driven, with a natural curiosity that shapes the way I learn and connect with others. I bring a calm, warm energy to my work and try to approach every challenge with a reflective, grounded mindset. <\/span>Outside of work, I enjoy crochet and the arts, spending quality time with friends, and getting lost in great fiction novels. <\/span>I studied Mathematics with a Foundation Year at the University of Kent from 2018 to 2023, and I\u2019m currently a Graduate Data Scientist at NESO (the National Energy System Operator).<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
Hi I’m Ben. I graduated from UKC in 2021 with a BSc in Mathematics, moving into a role in the Advertising Technology (AdTech) industry. Made several lateral moves since graduation, upskilling statistics and data science expertise to transition into data roles – including pursuing a Master’s degree.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
<\/strong>I\u2019m a final-year Artificial Intelligence student and I have completed a 13-month placement with the Mercedes-AMG Formula One Team, supporting live race operations and software reliability during Formula One race weekends. Alongside my role, I took part in charity initiatives supporting Helen & Douglas House, including completing a 10km run around Silverstone Circuit and representing the Mercedes-AMG Women\u2019s Football Team in a charity match against Aston Martin.

<\/strong>Hi I’m Tobi, a final year computer science student. I completed my year in industry last year at Morgan Stanley in London. I worked as a software engineer during the placement, working with a variety of technologies and programming languages including Java, Python, Angular and SQL. The first 6 months of my placement were in client risk technology. I spent the latter half of my placement developing the tech behind the firms accounting.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
