    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • My role requires me to do full stack coding in a daily basis. I am required to do front end coding (angular) and also do the Backend API implementation for the components i create in the frontend. My role requires me to test code and fix bugs that happened and are faced by our users.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I have learnt Angular which is a front end language we used, as i have never done it before therefore it was a new experience for me and something completely new that I learnt. I also improved on my listening skills and problem solving skills.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I was given relative amount of responsibility as the time went on as I was excelling in the work i was doing. However after some time I realized that the type of work that I was doing in the team wasn't something I want to do as a career as it started to affect my mental and physical health. Although my team was very supportive and did not put pressure on me I started to struggle at the end.
