Mhairi McDonald
Technical Applications Consultant, Capgemini
I am a Technical Applications Consultant on the Degree Apprenticeship program with Capgemini, working towards a BSc Digital & Technology Solutions with a Software Engineering specialism. I joined Capgemini in November 2017 and I’m just about to start the second year of my studies.
I had previously worked as an Apprentice Software Engineer with a telecoms company and loved the problem solving aspects of development work, which nurtured my interest in technology. Since starting with Capgemini, I’ve been able to focus those interests on multiple projects in various teams alongside challenging myself with my university studies. I work in a small team that supports an IT system for a government department, and my day to day role involves tasks like fixing existing problems with the software, liaising with the client, and making improvements to the system.
My studies are based out of Aston University but I work and live in Manchester, so I travel to Birmingham 3-4 times a year for lectures and exams and attend online evening tutorials during the week. Doing an apprenticeship instead of going to university suits me perfectly as I definitely thrive in a working environment.
