I joined INFINITI Motors Limited as a member of the Global Connected Car team in the summer of 2016. These days where everything from mobile devices to streetlights are part of a global network in the Internet of Things, cars provide a unique way for us to interact with the world around us. Big data mined from a network of cars can help to predict traffic jams or recommend a popular restaurant based on your travel preferences.

Between February and June, I did a part-time internship at Privé. They are an innovative Fintech provider of wealth management services in the cloud and a boutique software development services company aimed at the financial sector.

Working for the largest private army on earth has been a privilege and interesting turn of events. Like all industries, on the outside there is not much to see except in G4S’ case, security guards and valuable goods transport trucks all over the city.
