Overview of Role

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

I'm a Software Development Engineer Intern working on a project that helps internal users complete tasks more efficiently, often without the need to write code manually. My day-to-day role is to deliver coding tasks, test my work, learn from code reviews and feedback, collaborate with the team, and deepen my understanding of company systems and operations.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, I was given my own project to work on, where I was fully responsible for its delivery and day-to-day progress.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

Yes, I've learnt a lot during this internship and continue to build those skills. I've deepened my understanding of collaborative development using GitHub, where work is broken down into smaller tasks that are reviewed and approved by other team members. I've also developed new skills in building applications with Streamlit and working with AI agents that help complete tasks more efficiently.
