Our people, their stories

"At Kainos, I get to work on amazing projects. Developing new software and using the latest tech means no two days are the same. I’m always learning and getting to put a fresh new spin on things. Just like when I play my favourite sport, Ultimate Frisbee…mind your heads!"
Likkan Chung, Software Engineer, Birmingham
Image of a person with the text: with every opportunity I go from strength to strength
"Going straight from university into my first job could have been really daunting. But Kainos gave me all the support and learning opportunities I needed to get to where I am now. And as Kainos grows, my career powers up with it (which is pretty fitting for a keen powerlifter!)."
Hannah Smith, Senior Platform Engineer, London
Image of a person with the text: winning at my job in more ways than one
"To win Apprentice of the Year was a such big deal for me. And thanks to the support and guidance of Kainos, I’ve been able to discover my true calling in Cyber Security. Now I get to pass on what I’ve learnt to others who may be considering the same career. Who knows, I may even influence a future Apprentice of the Year! Wouldn’t that be something?"

James Matchett, Lead Cyber Security Engineer, Belfast
Image of a person with the text: so far my Kainos story has been a real page turner
"Stories, storytelling and mentoring are my thing. So, I feel a perfect fit for Kainos and the culture we have here. Even better, I now get to spread the word and tell those stories all over the world, helping to create awareness about who we are, what we do and the people we help."

Maddy McTigue, Workday Change and User Adoption Consultant, Indianapolis
