Overview
I was working on more of a research project. It involved reading academic papers and writing software pertaining to the research. I also did a lot of software testing for the software I wrote, and also did lots of networking and presentations. I improved both my technical and non-technical skills.
Skills
I've developed my Python skills a lot. I also developed my research ability and presentation skills a lot. Definitely levelled up as an engineer.
Responsibilities
I was given full reign over a key project in my area.
Support & Guidance
I received a lot of support from my team
Culture
Very open/entrepreneurial. Quite chill, but more intense than a typical tech company.
