After my own research, I wrote emails to some appealing and promising startups and in the end, got a job offer from SmarFactory.Despite a difficult start due to the covid pandemia and online form, it turned into a successful mission with a month summer visit to Ireland.Experience:One side of the internship was software development of WAPS (Work Area Performance System), an Industry 4.0 data collecting and OE system for use in a variety of manufacturing processes. The second side was a delivery of a project for an Irish company. I wrote customer and functional specifications (URS & FDS), created a model of the customer's manufacturing process, helped with the cost and schedule breakdown and wrote the final quote.During my internship, I was also able to address significant problems of SmartFactory's frontend application. The problems lie in heavy customization (not enough flexibility), maintainability, performance issues (memory leaks) and overall poor code structure and a lack of software design.I decided to take over the frontend and build it whole from scratch to prevent such problems.Skills & Knowledge & Technologies:Software development: Angular | Typescript | Microsoft SQLProject delivery: Customer Requirement Specification | Customer quotes & budgeting | Client Facing Show less
