Introduction

Hi, I'm Emily! I'm a second-year computer science student at the University of Sheffield. I'm passionate about learning new skills in technology and other fields and applying them to real-life circumstances.

I'm hoping to undertake an industrial placement year during my 3rd year at university as I believe this will provide me with invaluable experience and knowledge as I navigate the job market once I graduate.

At university, my main focus is programming. I love applying my problem-solving skills to real-life development and I hope to work in this field after graduation!

My Projects

During my studies, work experience, and outside of school, I've completed several coding projects to help advance my knowledge.

Throughout these projects, I've used a variety of languages, firstly to aid with my studies and also for my own enjoyment.

My Experience

Serco (RPA Team)

Solihull   Work Experience

Jul - Aug 24

At Serco, I joined the RPA (Robotic Process Automation) team during a 4-week work experience placement. During this time, I worked on training modules for UiPath & Boomi, completed personal projects, developed a partial project for Serco, completed a site visit, and sat in on team & client meetings.

The outcome of this project was the development of a RPA solution that will be used by Serco in the future. It involved developing an automated bot to take data from a Microsoft Power App to Assure (an internal incident reporting platform). The project included adding error handling and retries when necessary, in order to make an efficient and reliable solution.

This experience allowed me to develop new skills, learn how a business functions, further my understanding of the developer-client relationship and become familiar with new software.
