Education Level: BS

Career Interest: Computer Science

I'm a late-game character. Was not a natural at software but will strive to be the best I can be. I'm not satisfied with mediocrity, average, or slightly above average I have to be the best me.

What was your role?

Front-end/Back-end. MC Profile, MC Client Dashboard (Scrapped), MC Dashboard and its parts.

What did you work on?

What was the impact of your project?

Very impactful. I hope that this project turns out well. Even if no one knows at least I will know that there is a part of me in this project.

What did you learn or improve on from this internship or from your teammates?

That no one is perfect. I thought only prodigies like the ones on youtube get internships but you don`t need to be perfect. They have similar fears that I`m going through as well.

What skills have you gained?

Communication. Being able to articulate myself well is very important when collaborating so I don`t leave anything to interpretation.

What was the biggest roadblock you've overcome?

The initial start was a big roadblock so, I convinced the team to break into pair programming groups to share the knowledge we have since we may have used different resources and have different skills. Pair programming allowed us to initial feed off of each others knowledge and then we would be able to move on by ourselves.

How has company culture guided your work?

Allowed me to work from home which means I am comfortable and don`t need to see people walking around me. I enjoy the peace and solitude. A relaxed environment that allows me to be productive.

What was your experience at Unadat?

Great experience. The most important thing I learned was team work. Developing solo is easy but collaborating is hard. If you wanna do something quick go alone but if you wanna go far go together.

What was one big project you worked on during the internship? Can you walk me through the process?

Money Coaches was the big project. Essentially, PM & UI/UX talk with seniors and make plans. I execute their plans. They point and I shoot.

What advice would you give to future interns?

Don`t focus on perfection. Initially, you don`t need perfection, you just need to move forward. Do pair programming for the first week then you can branch off on your own.
