Being an intern at eBay during my third year set me up perfectly for working life and taught me a lot about discipline. I have always been passionate about working in big companies that promote good culture, hence why I love working at eBay. (Computer Science with Industrial Experience BSc, 2015)

Alumni profile - Vijay Gill (Computer Science with Industrial Experience BSc, 2019)
As a producer, working with fellow creatives and world builders is about as close to nirvana as it gets: not a single day goes by where I’m not in awe of their incredible talent and dedication to bringing the best games to the Xbox platform. (Computer Science with Industrial Experience BSc, 2019)

Alumni profile - Sarah Persov (Computer Science BSc, 2019)
Being a female backend Software Engineer can sometimes be daunting. However, as the world progresses, so does tech, and I’ve had incredibly wholesome discussions with non-female people who are very passionate about making the industry more welcoming, as well as them calling out people who have had unconscious bias.

Alumni profile - Natasha Olutayo (Computer Science BSc, 2017; Computer Science MSc, 2018)
There isn’t a one size fits all solution to all the issues faced by the Black community unfortunately because we are living in a system that has taken hundred of years to build. It may take just as long to tear it down, but I think that the process to get there will involve a lot of Black people and communities reclaiming their power and changing our mindset.

Ene Audu (Computer Science with Management BSc, 2016; Accounting and Management MSc, 2017)
I feel fortunate to have started out in a company that shares the idea that there needs to be equity as well as equality. I see so many strong women who I look up to and I am seen first for my value and not as a woman who happens to be in tech.

Prajith Rakunathan (Computer Science BSc, 2015)
I remember saying to my friends when I was younger that it would be so cool to work for the likes of Microsoft. I look back now and that still hasn’t changed, technology is so engrained in our lives and being involved in a company that is on the bleeding edge keeps me on my toes.

Kia Abdullah (Computer Science BSc, 2003)
After university, I worked in tech for three years, but my first love won out eventually. I took a 50% pay cut to take a writing role at Asian Woman magazine... since then I've started my own website, Atlas & Boots, and written for publications like The New York Times, The Guardian and The Telegraph, and published a novel with HarperCollins with the next one out in 2020.

Neha Patel (Computer Science BSc, 1994)
Artificial Intelligence modules, lab work and my final year project were the most enjoyable aspects of my degree. AI, which is being seen as the future, was as interesting back then as it is today.
