Summer School APIs
I was tasked to build an API and it was really interesting. I had briefly worked with APIs before and Summer School gave me a chance to improve my knowledge. Oliver really helped me a lot when I could not find a solution to the problems I was facing. I also really enjoyed hearing from Kelly on how to be an effective communicator, as well as from the different development teams, and Markus from the Geeks.
My Summer School experience
I was working with the company’s Customer Sucess team I learnt the importance of being a clear communicator and have patience when dealing with people the importance of sharing information with your team which can create a calmer work atmosphere which is a win for both the business and the customers.
Day 1-4
Day 1 First I was stunned by the environment the employee are approachable friendly. l learned how to configure Mikrotik router of which I have never done before and also I had to Mac machine which was also new to me and did not support software to configure the router so I had to install it in a virtual machine and on top of that I had to install middleware application called Wine for an order for it to run it was a good experience it disturbs my comfort zone.

SummerSchool – APIs Day 1 and 2

Day 4 & 5 – Nokusa Duma
This opportunity was so amazing and I’m super grateful for it. The staff at immedia were so lovely and kind to me, I did not feel lonely at all. Truly an experience I will forever be grateful for. I highly recommend that everyone take this opportunity.
My first 3 days of Summer School – Nokusa Duma
When I look at the progress I’ve made in the past couple of days, I am proud because I’m learning and applying the things I’ve learned. When I make a mistake, I figure out how to solve the problem by either asking for help or either looking for a solution online. I feel like with more practice and patience, I can really become better at this.

Summary of my week at immedia
There was this thing that the GEEKs and the team did every morning before we get on with work of the day, its called “Standup and Share”, where each and every GEEK nor team member would stand up and share which tasks they were up to the previous day and also which challenges they faced during their tasks, and we would also share which tasks one will be doing on that current day.
