As an intern software developer, most time was spent either writing code towards the app we were working on, or reviewing code written by other members of the team.
Writing software code for native and mobile app development. Involved daily standup meetings, delegating and distributing work in a team, and programming app views and logic.
Used programming language/tools differ from project to project. In my case the task were mostly adding new functionalities (sometimes also adding documentation) or doing online research in a new tool or feature that is supposed to be added.
I really enjoyed my time at Softwire. The project I was put on was really interesting, everyone in the company was very friendly. Despite it taking place in lockdown, it was a great experience and I learnt so much.

I really enjoyed the internship and Softwire made lots of effort to ensure that was the case, despite the remote nature. As a welcome event they would normally take the interns to the pub after their first day, so instead did a virtual event on discord wi...
I enjoyed my internship to a significant extent. We had the opportunity to learn a variety of new technologies, especially for the project our team were working on. The most important part for me, was learning to communicate and collaborate with other en...
