My Tech Journey

Advantexe Logo

Software Engineer Intern

My second summer at Advantexe Learning Solutions allowed me to further hone my technical skills. Working in a cross-functional team, I was able to significantly enhance my communication skills. My team was tasked with designing and developing a business acumen simulation from scratch, giving me insight into the product development cycle and further building on my skills as a teammate and leader. Additionally, I conducted research to identify the most effective charting API, which played a crucial role in enhancing our data visualization capabilities.
