Af­ter th­ree ex­ci­ting and in­ten­si­ve ye­ars, Ben­ja­min, Jo­han­nes, Er­win, Ro­bin, and I have suc­cessful­ly com­ple­ted our training as IT spe­cia­lists in ap­pli­ca­ti­on de­ve­lo­p­ment. We pas­sed both the writ­ten and oral exams with success.

In the weeks lea­ding up to the oral exam, I fo­cu­sed on pre­pa­ring the pro­ject pre­sen­ta­ti­on and the tech­ni­cal dis­cus­sion. Tog­e­ther with other trai­nees and with the sup­port of our in­s­truc­tors, I prac­ti­ced pre­sen­ta­ti­on work­flows, re­view­ed tech­ni­cal ques­ti­ons, and si­mu­la­ted ty­pi­cal exam si­tua­tions. This in­ten­si­ve pre­pa­ra­ti­on was not only hel­pful but also gave me a gre­at deal of con­fi­dence for the exam day.

My fi­nal pro­ject in­vol­ved de­ve­lo­ping a soft­ware so­lu­ti­on for di­gi­tiz­ing hand­writ­ten data using ar­ti­fi­ci­al in­tel­li­gence. The goal was to make ma­nu­al data ent­ry more ef­fi­ci­ent and to re­place it with au­to­ma­ted text re­co­gni­ti­on. This in­cluded the use of image re­co­gni­ti­on me­thods and ma­chi­ne lear­ning. The pro­ject was tech­ni­cal­ly de­man­ding but also par­ti­cu­lar­ly ex­ci­ting, as it al­lo­wed me to ap­p­ly cut­ting-edge tech­no­lo­gies di­rect­ly in practice.

With the suc­cessful com­ple­ti­on of my training, I look back with gra­ti­tu­de on the past ye­ars – and now look for­ward to my new role at TecAlliance and the pro­fes­sio­nal chal­lenges that lie ahead.
