Stepped into a new domain altogether. Really grateful to have started my career here as an intern. The learning curve was very steep, and my team never considered me as an "Intern", rather they gave me tasks (opportunities) just like to any other "Software Engineer" in the team.

💼 What is my role?
Worked as a full-stack developer to build awesome FinTech products related to Housing Mortgage.

📚 What did I learn?
In a period of 6 months, I moved from "Nothing" to "Something" in web development using ReactJS.
Explored a bit about the mortgage industry as a whole. Learned how mortgage works.
Tried learning a little on SpringBoot. But, couldn't get much hold of it.
Brushed up my skills on Python - Flask.
Learned to code with lesser bugs during the code reviews (Either my code has fewer bugs or the code reviews were not done properly. I always wish the former to be true. xD)
Got an opportunity to present my work to the bigger team.
Worked on tasks that were way out of my scope/responsibility - by taking ownership of tasks related to application's performance, resource management, and load testing.
Volunteered to be part of a few recruitment drives and as a hackathon judge. (It feels amazing to be on the other side of the interviewee table)
Hustled a little more to explore the machine learning side of the product and was seeking opportunities to work on them.
Overcame my fear on working with SpringBoot. I voluntarily took up tasks related to it.
Got a better hands-on my Python and ReactJS skills.
Came up with innovative ideas that could possibly improve the UX of the product.

🔨 What did I work on?
We built products to annotate or re-annotate (feedback loop) mortgage documents for the machine learning model to self-learn, and make predictions/classifications by itself.
