Hello Everyone,
I would like to apply for the global talent exceptional promise route next year. I’m currently at the early stage of gathering evidence. Pls, I need help reviewing my evidence plan to know if I have a shot.
Background:
I completed by BSc in Physics in 2021. Then moved to the UK early 2022 for my masters in Data Science with Advance research. Where I graduated in Jan 2024 and received the University Prize for the Best graduating student in my class.
I got a role as a cloud Data Engineer in Jan 2024 at a top tier company in the UK where I’m working on one the of the largest tech transformation in the world.
Prior to moving to the UK I’ve had a couple of years of experience working in data/software engineer role as freelance which I won’t include in the application.
Kindly help review my planned evidence.
Mandatory Criteria (MC):
Show recognition as having potential to be a leading talent in the digital technology field in the last 5 years.
Evidence 1: Significant Contribution to a High-impact Project at company 1:
- Evidence: Reference letter from a senior data Engineering manager or Senior Director detailing my role and impact in the data migration project from the legacy system to cloud based solution.
Evidence 2:
Award Recognition for Academic Excellence:
- Certificate or letter from the University verifying that I was awarded the prize for the “Best Graduating Student” in my MSc Data Science with Advanced Research program

- Evidence of high earning at current job, my career progression over the last year at current job and my performance review.
Optional Criterion 1 (OC1):
Innovation as a founder of a product-led digital technology company or as an employee working on a new digital field or concept.
Evidence 1. **Innovation in Migrating Legacy Data Systems to cloud based solution **:
- I’m not sure on how to proof this since I can use the company internal documentation I wrote or take screenshot of the codes. But I’m think I can explain the methodology, process and result backing it with recommendations letter from a Data engineer manager.
Evidence 2:
**Computer Aided design for more modern pipeline **:
- Same situation as evidence one I can share a screenshot or link. So a write up on methodolog, process and result with a recommendation letter based on this project from a data engineering manager or team member.
Optional Criterion 3 (OC3):
Significant technical, commercial, or entrepreneurial contributions to the field as a founder or employee of a product-led digital technology company.
Evidence 1: **Impact of my Data Migration Project on company business **:
- Write up on the impact of my project on the business, some online post from the company website regarding the project and a recommendation letter from line manager.
Evidence 2: Project Leadership and Collaboration:
- I’ve been the lead data Engineer on a couple of project. I’m using a Recommendations letter from line manager as proof.
Kindly help review my evidence plan. I would really appreciate your inputs.
Thanks
