“My internship at Saxa Labs has been a transformative experience, providing me with invaluable insights into the practical applications of software development which I was not exposed to in school. What sets this experience apart is the opportunity to work on projects for real clients, which means real deadlines, concrete requirements, and genuine consequences. This isn't the world of "school projects"; it's the realm of genuine, professional software development. In this role, I've been a part of real software development projects, focusing on front-end development using React and Node.js. My responsibilities extend to building features, connecting them to the backend, and meticulously ensuring peak optimization and aesthetics in every facet of the projects. Additionally, I've gained valuable insights into cloud architecture, collaborating with an experienced AWS engineer to understand the intricacies of cloud-based solutions. Working at Saxa Labs not only involves understanding the intricacies of software development processes but also challenges me to find solutions through independent research and hard work. It's an environment where I'm encouraged to learn industry-standard practices, guided by experienced engineers and my knowledgeable peers. Our daily stand-up meetings and organized workflows using JIRA boards ensure that our projects remain on track, fostering a structured and efficient work environment. Furthermore, this experience has introduced me to skills that are invaluable in the professional world, as well as the ability to thrive in a team where excellence is expected. Before joining this team, there were many aspects of working in software development that I had never been exposed to. Once I became a part of Saxa Labs, I saw a completely different side to Computer Science, one which cannot be taught in an academic setting, only through real-world applications and client work. ”
