​At Women in DevOps,​we strive to promote gender equity as we encourage, celebrate, and empower like-minded tech professionals around the world. We are shining a light on our community member, Jessica Morgan, who currently works at Capgemini as a DevOps Platform Engineer.

​

Where did you study and what got you into technology?

I joined Capgemini as a Degree Apprentice at age 24 with no coding experience, except for some basic online courses. I always liked technology and computers, but for some reason, I had never considered it as a career! I was working an office job but felt like I needed something more challenging. I wanted to learn some new skills so I researched apprenticeships and found Capgemini and the Degree Apprenticeship which I had never heard of before. I was enrolled into Aston University and then over the course of four and a half years, I completed my degree as well as learned a lot of practical skills in my day-to-day role at Capgemini.

​

What have been your biggest career and personal achievements? 

I think achieving my Digital and Technology Solutions degree was probably my proudest achievement as it seemed impossible at the start. I also feel that I have grown massively in my confidence since starting this career. I am now confident leading meetings, speaking with senior engineers, presenting and mentoring others. I especially enjoyed being on the panel at the Women in DevOps event in Holborn, as that was a first for me!

Tell us about your current place of work and role.

I currently work at Capgemini which is where I started my career. However, since joining, I have been in many different roles and different projects so it has remained interesting. I work as a platform engineer at the moment, mostly specialising in AWS and Terraform to create Infrastructure as Code for large public sector clients.

Don’t be afraid to try new things, you might fail at first but will learn from mistakes.
