Our colleague Jimwell is part of our development team responsible for designing new features for the Harmoney platform. In this dedicated section, he explains his transition from intern to a full-time, remote employee.
“When I joined Harmoney for my internship, I immediately connected with my more experienced colleagues. They were eager to embrace both my skills and personality. Throughout my initial assignment as an intern, they were always happy to share their knowledge and expertise. They not only guided me with technical aspects of the job, but also offered insights into problem-solving, communication and teamwork.
This supportive and encouraging work environment made me feel comfortable to reach out for advice at any time, as everyone on the team was easy to approach.
Learning from more experienced team members not only boosted my technical proficiency, but also instilled in me a deeper appreciation for collaboration and the power of shared knowledge.”
“As my internship progressed, I deepened my understanding of front-end development using Angular, TypeScript, RxJS library and Tailwind. I also honed my Git and GitHub skills.
In addition, I also familiarised myself with agile development methodologies and participated in pair programming sessions and code reviews, which improved my ability to work collaboratively in a team and adhere to coding standards.
The personal growth component was also crucial. I learned how to manage my time efficiently and stay organised amidst challenging tasks. The experience of working on real-world projects boosted my self-discipline and adaptability, as I had to quickly learn new technologies.
Being exposed to a diverse and multicultural team at Harmoney, I gained a deeper appreciation for cultural differences and the value of inclusivity. I also learned the significance of continuous learning and staying up-to-date with industry trends and best practices.
Overall, my internship at Harmoney not only enriched my technical skills but also empowered me with valuable life lessons and a growth mindset.”
“I found my collaboration with the team truly rewarding and supportive. Everyone encouraged me to chip in with ideas and help me whenever I got stuck on a challenge. This makes all the difference when you’re new to the workfloor.
The open mentoring culture is what I found most valuable throughout my internship, as it helped me to improve my coding practices and understanding of development principles. This significantly accelerated my learning.”
