Overview
As port of the Consumer Risk Finance & Treasury Team, I developed a user interface using HTML, CSS, Flask and Bash to facilitate and automate the configuration of the working environment of the Machine Learning Team.
Skills
I enlarged my knowledge in finance through different conferences/events organised throughout the internship. I also strongly improved my technical skills especially in Python/Flask where I had to develop a user interface within ~5 weeks.
Responsibilities
I was responsible to develop a user interface and to deliver it before the end of my 8-week internship so I had master the different programming languages. Moreover at the end of the internship I was invited to showcase my work in front of 200 colleagues and managers.
Support & Guidance
My colleagues and managers were very supportive, I worked fully remotely and I encountered a lot of different tech issues at the beginning of the internship but I always felt comfortable with that thanks to them.
Culture
The values are: Excellence Stewardship Services Respect Integrity
Your Impressions
It was undoubtedly my most enriching and intensive experience. My main project was really challenging and there were a lot of different events organised throughout the internship. Moreover meeting a lot of Summer Interns coming from around the world was really enriching.
Yes
Make the most of this experience, meet colleagues in other teams/divisions and invest in your main project.
