Since May 2020, I have been assigned to the IM-Tools team.
Here, internal applications are developed that are used to collect data for the Information Management department.
At the beginning I got an introduction to the team, their tasks and projects. In addition, I was allowed to choose right at the beginning in which direction I wanted to go, frontend or backend. I decided on the frontend and was then allowed to familiarize myself with Angular, a front-end web application framework, with the help of a tutorial.
With the help of the tutorial I learned the basics of Angular and Typescript, and with this knowledge I could start my own small project.
The goal was to develop a “Vehicle App” where you can add, edit and delete cars. With this project I was able to consolidate my existing knowledge and gain a lot of new experience.
After I finished the project, I was allowed to participate in the sprint.
Here I was able to program smaller requirements for the application, e.g. a tooltip that displays a url. Furthermore I could fix some bugs.
By participating in the sprints I not only got to know the team members better, but also their way of working and dealing with each other.
Despite the current situation due to which we were mostly busy in the home office, I was able to get a good impression of the team and was always well supported when I had questions.
I am looking forward to my further time in IM-Tools and to my project work, which I will also write in this team.
