BT
(Public Company; BT.A; Telecommunications industry)
June 2008 — June 2009 (1 year 1 month)
I spent twelve months at BT between my second and third years of university, working in two departments within the company.
In Group Engineering Services, I worked as part of a team of software engineers on a large web application. In addition to programming, I helped to improve the usability of the application and promoted web design best practices. I also gave a presentation on usability to the entire department.
In the Applied Technology Centre, part of BT Innovate, I worked on several smaller research projects. These included the subjects of broadband, videogames, networks and the web. -
