How did your degree at the University of Chester prepare you for your current role?

When studying the theory side of computer science, I never thought it would be useful. Since working, my perspective has changed, as having a good understanding of systems development and project management is key for the industry and is widely recognised.

I thought I would be going into a developer role but when I found my job I fell in love. I can work with customers and code, fix bugs in systems and not be expected to sit at a desk all day but instead get to travel plus work from home.
