Apprentice Software Engineer Review

In my current rotation, each day begins with a stand-up meeting to discuss team progress, completed tasks, and daily objectives. My role involves resolving software bugs, developing new features, conducting thorough testing, and collaborating closely with my team.

I have significantly enhanced my skills in JavaScript and TypeScript, gaining hands-on experience with front-end frameworks such as React and Angular. Additionally, I have learnt to program in Java and become familiar with the Test-Driven Development (TDD) methodology. I have also improved my ability to navigate and contribute effectively within a large, collaborative codebase. Doing so, I have also learnt to collaborate with people more efficiently.

I am really enjoying the apprenticeship programme. It has a lot to offer - support, mentorship, hands-on experience and a fully funded BSc degree.
