Week 4: Cleaner Code, Stronger Architecture

This week was less about adding shiny new features and more about writing clean, maintainable code. I realized that writing code isn’t just about making it work, it’s about making it safe, secure, and sustainable. A single misplaced file, a missing assert, or scattered logic might not break the app immediately, but it creates silent risks that will show up later. Week 4 became a turning point where I learned how to protect code, keep it organized, and respect clean Read more

Week 3: QR Scanner Implementation & Live System Support

Week 3 was where development met real-time pressure. I dove into implementing the QR code scanning workflow, translating an abstract idea into a working feature that users could interact with. At the same time, I stayed on call for live system operations, tackling issues as they surfaced. That constant switch between building and troubleshooting pushed me to think not only about functionality, but also about how resilient features need to be in real-world conditions. Building the QR Scanner Workflow The Read more

Week 2: Refining Features & Optimizing Performance

This week was all about polishing last week’s work, boosting performance, and making sure features weren’t just functional but also aligned with our project’s design and reliability standards. I wrapped up the spell checker, added a debounce system to improve local storage usage, and saw firsthand how small tweaks can make a big impact on both user experience and system efficiency. Refining the Spell Checker Last week’s spell checker worked well, but it still had room for refinement. My focus Read more

Week 1: Hitting the Ground Running

My first week of internship was a hands-on introduction to real-world development and event support. From providing on-site technical support to contributing to production-level development, I quickly transitioned from observation to contribution. I explored the technical stack, upgraded key integrations, and implemented a new AI-powered feature, all while learning how teamwork, code quality, and user experience intersect in a professional environment. Event Support & System Overview My internship began with direct involvement in a live event. I assisted with the Read more

Week Thirteen of Internship

In Week 13 of my internship, my focus shifted heavily toward fixing tricky bugs, ensuring dashboard accuracy, and improving how user-related data is handled in different areas of the admin interface. Unlike the previous week, where most of my attention was on form validations and rendering behavior, this week taught me how deeply connected components and data flow can be and how a small oversight in logic can cause confusing bugs in production. From analyzing bugs that affected filters and Read more

Week Twelve of Internship

In Week 12 of my internship, I dove deep into testing React Admin components using Jest and React Testing Library. This week taught me critical lessons about how to write effective tests that not only check if components render but also verify behavior, data consistency, and user experience. Working specifically on the List page and dashboard, I gained practical insights into testing complex admin interfaces lessons with React Admin and Jest. Test for What Users Actually See and Do Writing Read more

Week Eleven of Internship

In week eleven of my internship, I focused on learning the fundamentals of unit testing, especially within the React Admin framework. I explored tools like Jest, Babel, and Mocha to understand how each works in different testing environments. I also applied what I learned to parts of a previous project to see how various components behave when isolated and tested properly. Getting Started with Unit Testing I began by learning the structure of unit tests using Jest and React Testing Read more

Tenth Week of Internship

I’m still working on the same core task from previous weeks, but that hasn’t stopped me from learning something new each day. In fact, sticking with one task for longer than expected opened the door to deeper understanding particularly around testing, logic improvements, and React Admin internals. What started as a frontend logic challenge has now expanded into a valuable journey of learning how to make systems more robust and maintainable. Smarter Upload Logic Through Feedback One of the key Read more

Ninth Week of Internship

This week marked a turning point in how I approached my assigned tasks. I focused not only on completing my work but on ensuring that it functioned correctly with the right logic. Rather than rushing to submit code, I spent more time understanding the problem, refining the solution, and testing it thoroughly. The aim was to produce clean, effective results that contributed meaningfully to the project and were easier for others to understand and maintain. Learning to Use Inspect Tools Read more

Eighth Week of Internship

The eighth week of my internship continued to build on the challenges I faced during the previous week, particularly in backend development and system debugging. While I had made progress earlier, this week offered more hands-on opportunities to strengthen my understanding, especially in areas like CouchDB queries and server-side techniques. Alongside these technical tasks, I also participated in on-site system deployment for a live event, which added a practical dimension to my learning. This blog reflects the continuity of my Read more
