    Overview

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

    • As part of a scrum team, I had specific tasks to work on which each took between 1-7 days to complete. I programmed in C++ to complete the tasks, and my tasks were based on improvements to Machine Simulation features in Fusion.

    Skills

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

    • I learnt C++ skills, as well as communication skills as we had lots of meetings. I developed my problem solving skills with each task, as the given codebase was very big so required problem solving to get familiar with it. I also learnt Agile development practices.
