In the 6th week of our internship, we are required to take part in the Pax8 Academy training covering Introduction to Service Management and Developing Security Policies courses. In this training we learned about the necessary concepts of service management such as values and leadership in working in a team or organization. This involves learning engagement and proper management to keep the company working towards its goals despite changes. Moreover, we learned about developing cybersecurity policies for the organization. We are taught about the theory of policy writing and cybersecurity controls. Through a given template, we are tasked to formulate our own cybersecurity policy by applying what we have learned from the training. 

The 5th week of my internship has lighter loads than my usual weekly tasks as a software engineer intern. This week we are not given any coding tasks to do because the system is under client testing and evaluation.

Week 4 Internship

In the fourth week of my internship, we were given more tasks than our usual load. This week, we were tasked to create a registration form for customers categorized as single or business information as well as a registration form for SM aircon information. In the business information form, a single business registration must be able to register multiple independent branches. The form should be functional such that it can send the information to the database and form validation should be implemented.

Week 3 Internship

In the third week of our internship, we were given a more complex task that involves the use of api calls to post and fetch data from the database. This week, our task is to create a messaging feature in the system by letting the customer, service centers and technician communicate with each other by leaving comments / replies in their services. Also, we were tasked to implement pagination where the number of comments is limited to three for every page and create a confirm modal component in the submission of the message.

In this task, I encountered problems with filtering the post request to submit the message to the database and render the message conversation on the page. Also, I had a hard time creating a paginated component for the messages. 

Week 2 Internship

The second week of our internship is where the real software engineer experience begins. On the first day of the week, we were invited to join an online meeting with our Samsung client partners. In the meeting, the client checked the progress of the project and gave comments and additional features needed for the project. 

The first coding task given to us is to create a table for the integrated dashboard in the admin view. We were tasked to create an html code and some typescript code to create the tables with static data. In doing the task, I encountered problems with coding in angular js. I have no background studies in angular programming because I am used to reactjs as a web development platform. The use of a new tech stack needs learning and coding adjustment. I am able to solve the problem by familiarizing myself with the angular js platform and studying the structure of the code used in the application project. Also, through effective teamwork with my intern partner, we were able to learn and finish the task on time.

The first week of my internship as a software engineer in TimeFree Innovations Inc. is fun yet quite challenging. The experience of coding a real world application in a corporate environment with senior developers is a new venture for me as a software engineer. It has quite more pressure as I am used to working with academic requirements for a group project. 

In my first week of internship, we were introduced to our project assignments and the team that we will be working with. I was assigned as a web developer together with a fellow intern to work as a pair in a OneSamsung Project. The project that we will be working on is a system for Samsung customers where they can request for services such as repair, maintenance, installation, etc. for their Samsung products. There are four types of users in the system which are the service center, technician, customer and administrator. The application is in the coding or implementation stage where almost eighty percent of the system is already finished and some additional revisions are made as requested by the client.
