Manish’s journey :
Through the eyes of an
Analyst who breaks down
code like match highlights

What do you do at Sogeti?

I’m an Associate Analyst at Sogeti, currently working with Bank of Ireland. My role focuses on frontend development, accessibility, security-driven authentication flows, and more recently API development using MuleSoft — which has definitely made me someone who gets excited about integrations and how systems communicate behind the scenes.

I come from a background in mobile, web, and backend development, and I like to bring a strong product mindset into everything I do. For me, it’s not just about building something that works, but making sure it’s secure, intuitive, and a smooth experience for users.

How has your role evolved since joining Sogeti?

Since joining, I’ve gone from building individual UI components to taking ownership of end-to-end feature development. Recently, as I mentioned, I’ve stepped into API development, which has given me a much deeper understanding of how complex banking systems interact.

I’ve also had the opportunity to work on production deployments, including strategic authentication flows and accessibility improvements. Nothing really compares to the mix of excitement and pressure when you’re deploying something that real users rely on.

How do you add value to your customers’ businesses through your role?

As an Associate Analyst at Sogeti I add value by contributing across different layers of the application, from frontend user experience to backend APIs. My work on authentication, accessibility, and integrations helps improve user trust, ensure compliance, and make systems more efficient overall.

I also bring a lot of curiosity and energy into my work — I’m always keen to learn, take on new challenges, and step outside my comfort zone, even when it comes to things like deployments.

What has been the biggest thing you’ve learned since starting work with Sogeti?

One of the biggest things I’ve learned is how fast you can grow when you’re surrounded by talented people, real challenges, and the trust to take ownership.

From delivering features to handling production deployments, it’s pushed me to stay curious, stay calm under pressure, and keep improving every single day.

Tell us a bit more about yourself

Outside of work, I’m really into football — both playing and watching. I probably spend a bit too much time over-analysing match highlights like a part‑time pundit. I’m also into cars, anime, and keeping up with the latest in tech, especially in the Android space.

I enjoy exploring new ideas and working on side projects too — anything that involves code, creativity, or just learning something new.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? 

I’d love to visit Switzerland for its stunning scenic views, mountains, lakes, and picture‑perfect landscapes everywhere you look  and Japan for the JDM car culture, underground races, and everything that makes a petrolhead feel like they’ve stepped straight into a movie.

What’s your secret talent that your colleagues might not know about? 

I can instantly remember random football facts, match moments, and transfer rumours — but forget where I kept my keys 10 minutes ago.

Describe Sogeti in three words 

People-first, Innovative, Growing.

Reflecting on the past two years with Sogeti, I’ve had the opportunity to support clients in designing clear and strategic open banking authentication solutions, contributing to the migration of open banking flows from CMA3 to CMA4. I have also been glad to provide support wherever needed.

Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue driving impactful solutions, embracing new challenges and contributing to innovative, future-ready banking experiences as I continue to grow with the team.
