It has been a while since I last made a post and this mainly due to the business working life which I currently hold. I am still working within my role in enterprise architecture and design for wholesale finance. Recently I have started numerous new projects looking at commercial aspects of the bank; my work focuses mainly on improving current banking processes through the introduction of new technology. Whilst I am incredibly busy I am still enjoying the placement and I am being supported well by my line manager in terms of personal development.
