Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involved integrating a cloud service into the team's existing tech stack. I collaborated a lot with members of my team since my project was very challenging and a lot of unforeseen challenges appeared throughout the course of the project.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
My project was a standalone one, meaning that I was the only person who was working on it (although I received a lot of help from my team members when required) so I was responsible for any bugs and issues that occured.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
5/5
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
My project was definitely very challenging and I did develop my technical skills. My project was a Java spring boot application, and I had never previously coded in Java before so there was a sharp learning curve.
