Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I work in small teams on client projects developing software to fit their needs. I have worked on two main projects involving C, Java, and Javascript. The work involves daily meetings within the team, semi-regular meetings with the client, and has mainly been research and development focussed.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Had responsibility on first project as a primary developer of the code and was given the most to do on the project. In the second project have taken on a more secondary role to learn and develop more. Have also been able to do individual training and learn about less conventional areas - e.g. writing a client proposal.
