Scan and Going for Good

As it reaches my last week at Asda, I felt it was a good opportunity to reflect on my time here.

Whilst I've been at Asda for almost 4 years, the time has passed very quickly.
I've completed two levels of apprenticeship, and learnt so much, given that I started at Asda with no experience, and no idea how to do anything technical.

In the time I've been at Asda, I've worked on Scan and Go for around 3 years, largely focusing on Scan & Go Handset in stores and the associated software solution that makes it work. And been involved in the beginning of a large scale re-write of most of the back and front end of the entire Scan & Go estate.

It's been a rewarding time, however I have felt the need to work on new projects, and work in a more technical and agile environment.
Whilst Asda was great for the very beginning of my career, I find further progression to be very ambiguous and limited, and so I'm very glad to be taking this jump into something new!

Thank you!
My plan is just to link to posts I make here from my website though.

But I'll add tags to posts that I think will be useful to people 😁
