    Overview

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

    • Starting the day with daily stand up meetings, we would review incoming tickets, and sort them by priority before assigning them. I worked with another intern on one project the whole internship, which involved upgrading a library used in lots of company software.

    Skills

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

    • I strongly developed my C++ skills. I learnt how to work in an agile way with a team. I learnt how to use tools like Jira, Jenkins, Github, and Visual Studio in order to collaborate effectively and streamline the development process.
