Meet Charlotte

Charlotte Gayton

Charlotte is seconded to endjin for her Industrial Placement year, as part of her BEng in Computer Science at the University of York. She was part of the summer 2021 internship cohort, and worked on creating a synthetic customer data generation tool to create statistically accurate "fake" data which could be used to create large volumes of realistic data for testing scenarios for endjin's customers.

During her year-long placement at endjin, Charlotte is going to focus on the adoption and roll out of the OpenChain specification (ISO 5230) across endjin's open source projects.
