From T Levels to Software Engineering: Mervely Kiese’s inspiring journey

Mervely Kiese is making waves in the tech world, currently studying Software Engineering at Manchester Metropolitan University after successfully completing a T Level in Digital Production, Design, and Development at Cadbury Sixth Form College – part of The Sandwell Colleges.
During his T Level journey, Mervely gained invaluable skills, including problem analysis and web development, through his 315-hour work placement with The Graded Gallery. He also completed an LTSB Bootcamp, further sharpening his expertise.
Now, Mervely is setting his sights even higher:
“My goal is to get an internship to further develop my technical skills in places that matter. I’m working on multiple programming projects that I’ll be sharing soon. I have a natural passion for precision and attention to detail. I aim to leverage my analytical expertise, learn from the best during an apprenticeship, and meet diverse people while traveling the world.”
