Meet the Tech Team, Will

Education: MPhil Advanced Computer Science (Cambridge University), BSc Computer Science (Sheffield University)

I started on the Graduate scheme in 2017, where after a couple of rotations I joined the Data Engineering team permanently. As a team we are responsible for providing external data to the rest of the firm, empowering researchers and analysts to access and discover data with the trust that it is modelled and monitored to a high quality. From when I joined, the team has grown from a handful of people in London comprised mainly of Graduates, to almost 30 across London, New York, Singapore and Hong Kong. My responsibility has grown too – I now run 2 of the teams within Data Engineering, along with running the Global Technology Internship, and leading our efforts for Technology Graduate recruitment.

My role at Marshall Wace has allowed me to work on new and diverse technical challenges every day in a hugely collaborative environment. I have also been provided the opportunity to play a huge part in how the team has grown over the years, right from the beginning of my career.
