Sam Cole & Dave Westbrook - Datamango

We kick off our first Happy Hour Talk at Southampton Solent University with student Sam Cole, BSc (Hons) Cyber Security 3rd-year and Dave Westbrook, (COO) Chief Operating Officer at Datamango.

Sam attended last year’s Happy Hour Talk by Datamango, and through this, he was able to secure a summer internship with them. He is continuing to work with them as a Junior DevSecOps Engineer during the final year of his degree.

Join us to hear Sam’s work experience story from both the student and employer perspectives. Discover how important it is to test the waters and network as a student, and how these skills are essential when transitioning into a professional career in tech and digital industries.

Datamango have a diverse skillset spanning data architecture, cyber security, ethical hacking, sustainability, and more, all the way to front-end development and UX/UI design. Our journey from a bootstrapped, product-focused business, to a service-oriented one (and back again) underscores our commitment to the entrepreneurial spirit and has led to a growing team focused on successes, including creating cutting-edge cyber security and sustainability platforms.
