Takeaways
After starting this internship, and now as I approach its conclusion, I have gained profound insights into the application of Computer Science in real-world scenarios. Initially, I was struck by how little I knew, coming into this role with limited practical experience beyond academic coursework and personal projects. Throughout this journey, I have learned that the most vital tool for a Software Engineer is not just technical skill, but the ability to learn quickly and maintain a positive, supportive attitude. This internship has been immensely enjoyable and incredibly enriching. As it draws to a close, I find myself excited and eager for the next opportunity to continue my professional growth.
