Ethan Costa first studied Environmental Science, where he was introduced to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and programming. That’s where he discovered his love for coding and using technology to solve real-world problems, which led him to pursue a degree in Computer Science. Today, Ethan works as a ServiceNow Developer for one of our financial services clients. He develops entirely on the ServiceNow platform, using JavaScript for scripting and automation. "I had no experience with ServiceNow before my client assignment. FDM gave me the training and confidence I needed to build on my technical skills and hit the ground running when I joined the team." Ethan is part of the Elara squad on client site, helping maintain and enhance various services and catalog items on the ServiceNow platform used by employees. "Over the past few months, I’ve been working with the Continuous Improvement team to migrate the company to a new Continual Improvement Management (CIM) tool. It was a huge team effort and a great opportunity to collaborate with colleagues across different areas of the business." 🏆 Ethan stood out for his impressive work on client assignment, earning him recognition as one of our Canada Consultants of the Month! #WeAreFDM #ConsultantOfTheMonth Lucas Costa

💬 “One of the key tasks I’ve worked on during my assignment is cost optimisation. I supported the Vendor Delivery Manager in reviewing costs and identifying opportunities to save, which led to significant savings.” Edward Taylor began his career as a Retail Manager during Covid. In 2022, he joined FDM and spent two and a half years working with a banking client before moving to an IT client earlier this year, where he now works as a Vendor Delivery Analyst. 💡 “A recent achievement of mine was successfully onboarding two new vendors well ahead of the standard SLA, reducing the timeline from months to weeks. It was a business-critical requirement, and I worked closely with multiple internal and external teams to make it happen.” Edward believes that while technical skills are vital in tech, transferable skills like analysis and stakeholder communication are just as important for success. 🏆 His dedication and results on client assignment have earned him recognition as one of our UK and EMEA Consultants of the Month! #WeAreFDM #ConsultantOfTheMonth Aimée Porter

Tyler Rawlings graduated in Physics with Astrophysics, but discovered his passion for programming during university. That passion led him to join FDM and build a career as a Software Engineer. “The training I received focused on learning to work with COBOL and CICS, and featured a number of core concepts that I would see frequently in my role, such as SQL, XML, JSON and APIs. However, the most valuable skill I developed during the training wasn’t technical. It was learning how to think and approach a problem like a software engineer.” 💼 Now working for one of our banking clients, Tyler has played a key role in several major upgrades to a Mortgage Sales platform. “My proudest moment was when a project I was heavily involved in went live with very minimal post-release fixes required. It felt like such a huge step in my career knowing my work was out there being used by thousands of people every day." 🏆 Thanks to his outstanding performance on client assignment, Tyler was recognised as one of our UK and EMEA Consultants of the Month! #WeAreFDM #ConsultantOfTheMonth Richard Stringer
