After a gap year and discovering Ada, she launched her career through a degree apprenticeship with Salesforce. At Ada, she built real-world skills, found her voice, and gained mentorship that shaped her personal and professional growth. Now a Solution Engineer at Salesforce, she’s helping others break into tech and building the future with purpose.

Martin is part of the Cohort 2021 Ada Sixth Form alumnus. Martin’s tech journey began with curiosity and a game-building platform but it was Ada’s sixth form that made a future in tech feel real. With support, mentorship, and industry projects at King and Bank of America, he gained the skills and confidence to thrive. After an apprenticeship at 59A, he’s now a Data Analyst at Meta. Martin now mentors others, proving that with the right support, anything’s possible.

Robbie, who started at Ada approximately six years ago, describes his route to success as “topsy turvy”. After initially struggling with his A-level results and questioning the traditional university path, which was heavily encouraged at his college, he spent a year working various jobs, from laying bricks on building sites to working in restaurants and bars. This period, though challenging and sometimes lonely as his friends went to university, fuelled his motivation to find his own direction.
