My job during the first few months at JLR was to strengthen design and creativity abilities aligning with company standards since we believed that creativity could accelerate innovation. My skill to find and debug errors was enhanced with this task.

Skills Development

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

My first industrial experience was with Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), as a Product Engineer working with Model-Based Intelligent Developing squad. I became proficient in handling and managing projects, leading team, and facilitating meetings in an agile way. I was committed to completing all the tasks and projects assigned to me, which resulted in contributing 1/4 of the team incremental product delivery. JLR developed the spark of innovation in me through crowdsourcing and design thinking. Over time I managed to develop a good network across JLR and made my work and effort reflect in the business. Within the 12 months period I widened my knowledge on various tools and software like GITLAB, MATLAB, Big Query, Python and Tableau.
