I received a scholarship from Parker Hannifin providing me with six months’ work experience around my university studies each year. I was tasked with assessing emerging technologies and building prototypes. Working unaccompanied but liaising with internal teams and clients, I created software to improve client, technician and engineer experiences and interactions with the product. Iterating on the software, using experience and feedback, put me in the position to demonstrate these projects for consideration to the senior management team.
