My role in the company as a Product Support Engineer was to help customers with product deficiencies that arose in the area of Web UI. I dealt with many customers from different business sectors who had questions about their products. My role was to provide an answer or a solution to them. I had to work as part of a team and as an individual to meet KPI's.
I had to at times work as a team. At times I worked on my own initiative. When working there usually I was in a fast paced environment. I had to always deliver excellent customer service as I was dealing with food. I had to pay close attention to detail when preparing foods to be able to meet health & safety measures. I was trusted with opening and at times closing coffee bar.
I served beverages or foods to customers. I also answered any questions that the customer may have. As a memeber of staff at Aviva Stadium I also took orders and enter them into the till. I Handled the money given to me by the customers. I also calculate the total of my cash registers at the end of my shift.
As a teachers assistant in Scoil Mhuire Newbridge I had to plan what I would teach the children every week. I taught primary school children how to create 2D games and animations by using Scratch. I also answered any questions about coding that the children may have had. I also had to ensure that all the students had a fully working 2D game.
4th Year Project
I am designing a web app called weLearn, where users can learn languages and teach languages to others that desire to learn them. For instance, if a user already knew English and wanted to learn German, they would look through profiles on the website and find a user that wanted to learn English and already knew German. Users would be able to create an account and add information about the language(s) they already know and the languages they desire to know along with other information like age and country location. Once a profile has been created then a user would be able to send messages to other users to set up times and dates to have meetings online to teach each other the desired languages.
Internship Experience Project
During my time at SAP, I took part in a project with some other interns in my field. We had various meetings at the beginning to iron out how we would go about doing this project. In those meetings, we decided that we would be fixing a tool in the company that is used for the onboarding of new hires. We named the project GURU which stands for Grow, Understand, Ramp Up. We established that the best methodology to use would be the Design Thinking Methodology. This is a methodology that heavily involves the users that will be using the product. We used programs like Adobe XD to design Low to High Fidelity Prototypes in order to get an idea of what we had to design. We then used Vue.js to code the website for the new Onboarding Tool. This tool had the potential to be used by SAP interns all over the globe as the tool that was used globaly at that time was outdated.
Learning Guitar
I have recently started getting a lot better at playing the guitar. I picked up the guitar as a hobby about a year ago and am finding it very calming to learn various chords and songs. Playing guitar is one of my favourite hobbies and I have had a lot more time to play it during the lockdown.
