Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As the data science and developer intern in the IOT and cyber security team, my day-to-day tasks are dynamic and diverse. From data analysis to dashboard development, I get to work on developing secure data collection and analysis tools while exploring new digitalization techniques for various use cases. The learning experience has been incredibly enjoyable, and I've had a blast collaborating with my friends along the way.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
During my internship, the responsibilities entrusted to me were carefully calibrated. Initially, I wasn't overwhelmed, allowing me to acclimate to the environment, technologies, processes, and corporate culture. As I grew more comfortable and demonstrated my performance, engagement, and eagerness to learn, I was gradually given greater responsibilities. This progression provided a reassuring sense of comfort and confidence in my own abilities, fostering my personal and professional growth within the business.
