My Goals for the Internship
My main goal for the internship is to improve on my collaboration skills by working and building real-world projects in a team using the tech skills I have acquired and also to learn from the teammates in any areas of my weakness. To learn the industry standard of building a production-grade application by collaborating with designers and engineers using collaborative tools and designs.
What I want to achieve
By the end of the 8 weeks of the Frontend Development Internship, my aim is;
- To improve my design skills using Figma and to enhance my working relationships with designers
- To have multiple real-world projects in my developer portfolio to showcase to employers during job interviews
- To enhance my understanding of ReactJS, its ecosystem and to solidify my skills in building projects with the said technology.
- To be a better developer and be ready for job opportunities in the tech industry.
