      2018 Participant in the Accenture Technology Bootcamp Accenture Technology Feb 2018 In this four day bootcamp, my team and I was presented with the challenge of creating a new business idea based on Robotic Process Automation. Our team's use case was "Automatic Stock Replenishment" which allows businesses to automatically "top up" their stock as it fell below a pre-determined threshold. The project enabled us to learn Java and Selenium to ultimately create the prototype of this idea. We then visualised the UI/UX using Invision.
