    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • The role consists of developing software used internally and for external clients.

Additionally you collaborate with other programmers to innovate a desirable solution to a problem.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • Yes, I've been able to work on my communication skills to peers, as well as improve my coding skills through working on unseen projects such as Web Dev using React and Blazor. This being my first internship allowed me to learn how to work in an office environment, learning crucial communication skills.
