Georgia Edwards moved from the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, to a fulfilling career as a Junior Software Engineer. Her cyber security skills bootcamp provided by HyperionDev helped her achieve it.

Georgia admitted, "I was a bit afraid and I wasn't sure how to do it and then I saw the course and I thought, you know what, I'll give it a go."

Her leap of faith paid off. Georgia secured a position as a Junior Software Engineer at MBDA, specialising in test software. Reflecting on her journey, the skills the bootcamp provided gave Georgia a solid foundation to build upon.
