Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I work alongside designers to build applications for clients and for internal use. I use programming languages such HTML, CSS, JavaScript and frameworks such as Vue.js and React.js. I also get to work with IBM cloud to host these applications. Normally I will work with another developer, pair programming where one of us will be coding and the other person watches and helps out when we get a bug.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
As soon I started as an intern at IBM I was given a lot opportunities to learn and get involved with projects. This is started of as shadowing and then soon I was able to start coding.

Get out of your comfort zone and learn something that is not part of your daily role. This can be done by getting involved in giveback projects or by attending course/programmes ran my other IBMers.
