Software Engineer Review

I work in an API team within Barclays. My daily tasks are, fixing bugs within our API's code, supporting testers, developing new API's and deploying apis into our test and production enviroments

I have learnt many new skills including, coding in java and javascript. I have also developed my presentation skills and my confidence.

I really enjoy the program. it has allowed me to work on myself more closely and develop skills I wouldn't normally have time to focus on.

I think the program is quite well structure and allows you to get the best out of the experience

I have recieved a lot of support from barclays. I have been given a lot of time to work on myself and my uni work. They have been great when I was struggling with uni work at times.

I have recieved a lot of support from mmu also. My university liason officer has been amazing and has always been there to support me and offer advice

I think my qualification helps In my job role alot as I came onto the apprenciship with no coding skills what so ever, so it has been nice to have that time to learn on my own and also on the job.

I have helped out at a few code dojos, but appart from that i havent really taken part in any extra curricular

Yes

They have been really supportive over the past 4 years and allowed me to grow as a professional and also as a person

Be openminded to being placed in difference roles. Also be honest In the areas you want to improve in.
