Andrew Cooper

Building a tech career can be challenging, especially when you're not following a traditional path. I chose an apprenticeship over university, proving there are other ways to succeed from a young age. I’ve also worked with others who transitioned from different industries, showing that people with diverse backgrounds can thrive in tech.

With over nine years of experience in IT/Tech, I've worked my way up from an IT support engineer apprentice to roles like Solutions Architect at Verizon and Tech Innovation Consultant at Accenture. Currently, I'm a Sales Engineer at a leading Pharma-Tech startup, where I'm passionate about leveraging emerging technologies to drive innovation.

I offer mentoring to people from all walks of life, including:

🧑🏽‍💻 Apprentices and students looking to break into tech
🔀 Professionals seeking to switch careers
📚 Individuals exploring non-traditional paths to a tech career

Here's how I can help you:

- Learn and grow in tech
Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to deepen your expertise, I can guide you through the skills to develop, projects to get involved with inside and outside of work, and the skills and certifications to lay the foundations for a solid career and growth.

- CV enhancement
Your CV is a crucial tool in your job search. I can help you refine it to highlight your strengths and achievements, making you stand out to employers.

- Mock interviews and preparation
Through personalised mock interviews and preparation sessions, I can help you confidently tackle common behavioural and technical interview questions.

And much more!

I've mentored apprentices and early in career individuals who have sustained double-figure percentage salary growth year after year and have become highly valued senior members of their teams.

I take my role as a mentor incredibly seriously. Your success genuinely matters to me, and I’m fully committed to doing whatever it takes to help you achieve your goals.
