Meet Kat, Systems Engineer at Tesco Bank

Read about Kat's experience in Technology

After graduating from university with a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting with Corporate Finance, I began exploring a career in technology, driven by a long-standing interest in the field.

Completing the Code First Girls ‘Introduction to Python and Apps’ CFGdegree and +Masters programmes helped build the foundation for the career I wanted to pursue. Today, I’m part of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) team in Platform Engineering. My role includes patching EC2 instances, updating Lambda function runtimes across multiple AWS accounts, and establishing PrivateLink endpoints for third-party connections.

Starting a new role can feel both exciting and challenging, but it’s been a great experience so far. I’ve been supported by colleagues and have had the opportunity to learn and grow every day.

It’s been an amazing journey so far, with supportive colleagues and opportunities to learn and grow every day.
