Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I have been working on digitising certain manual processes in order to increase departmental efficiency. This has involved working independently on sub problems for a larger team that is focused on using digital methods to improve efficiency.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of independence to get pieces of code completed however this was always done while being guided by someone else so I wasn't coming up with the overall vision of any of my projects.
