    Key Takeaways:
    It was my first time working in an office environment and therefore was a difficult 22 months yet the most nurturing experience thus far. I was exposed to project management lifecycles as well as budget and resource planning. Due to sheer number of ICT Systems that the SPF had, it was taxing. However I soon gained interest in learning more about these systems and technologies and that led me to choose Computer Science as my major in University even though I had no prior knowledge of programming. It was during my time here that I understood the real importance and power of IT in the world we live in today.

This is the job that lead to to be disillusioned with the bureacracy of large organisations and led to the conclusion that I want to work in a startup

NUS Orbital Programme - Showcase

Showcase is a web-application that was co-developed with my project partner as part of the summer-long Orbital Programme in NUS School of Computing. People upload "Showcases" to our website. They can attach links to tags to the products featured in the image. This was to help people expedite the process of product discovery to purchasing of products. It was enriching experience because this programme used self-directed learning as the medium of instruction. This programme got me to believe that I could develop anything that I wanted. It gives me immense self-satisfaction to bring to fruition something of our own design To view the app, please click here.

CS2103 Software Engineering Module Project - Codeducator

This was my first major software engineering module. Here I worked in a team of 4 to improve upon a contacts manager application in Java. I learnt to be proficient in using GitHub for revision control. Industry-standard practices of good coding styles, patterns and design were taught and tested. I also learnt how to debug and implement Testing for application features in Java. I learnt to produce formal documentation for software products To view the report, please click here.
