    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I worked with the commodities team. I was tasked with building a dashboard to show the usage statistics of an application. I would regularly speak with members of my team and would also work with the full time employees to help code in new features of their application.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I developed my knowledge of the financial markets, especially within the commodities asset class. I also greatly developed my programming skills, specifically with developing frontend applications and working with databases. I had never worked with JavaScript before and now I can confidently say that I am up to a intermediate standard.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • Since I was given my own project, I was responsible that it would be developed to the best possible standard and that it would be functional for the team to use. Since I also contributed to the codebase of their project, I feel that I was given a responsibility to ensure that the work I produced was functionable and of a high standard.
