Work for a company that is innovating and making a difference to the health and wellbeing of people, revolutionising global health systems.
Currently, due to being in University, tasks are mostly upkeep and bugs, but when working full time, and in the off chance, I got to work on big pieces of work which would impact many customers.
At the start of my internship I was briefed on 2 projects I would complete during the internship. My primary day-to-day tasks involved working through the projects to their completion. The 2 projects I completed as part of my internship went on to both be used. My first project was used by my boss for a connectathon and the second went on to be included into a release.
My role is largely making the frontend more accessibility compliant, involving a mixture of development, writing tests, and code review.
As a graduate a lot of it is bug fixes and small improvements. There are also frequent meetings depending on the team.
Incredibly satisfied, i worked on meaningful projects like the investigation of the user analytics tool that the company has chosen to go forward and utilize in their products. I then moved to working on the codebase itself - fixing various bugs - before working on large feature improvements and make a notable impact.
