Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I worked as a software engineer. This involves daily scrum meetings, coding, fixing bugs, planning for sprints, and providing feedback on other team members' code. As interns, we get assigned a summer project as well, which is actually implemented in the application that we work on. I also have regular meetings with my manager and team to track my progress, and I receive a lot of support.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, the project that I was assigned was important to the application I was working on, and the changes I made were part of the release. I felt like I was able to provide value to the company, and was able to take an active role within the team.

I have definitely learnt a wide variety of skills, both soft and technical. On the technical side, I have learnt how to use the Angular framework, the TypeScript language and unit testing in Jasmine. In terms of soft skills, I have become a lot more organized with the way I go about writing code and communicating with other people. I have also gained a good understanding of how to develop with the Agile methodology.
