Internship Success Stories

  • Reflecting on my time as an intern at Glucode, I found the experience to be incredibly insightful and educational. It taught me how to navigate a professional environment, emphasising the importance of being self-directed and demonstrating a willingness to learn to myself, my peers, and anyone in the office. The internship was what I made of it  there was no initial promise of a job, so my goal was to build a strong portfolio and establish connections within the industry.

    Some key take aways that I carry with me now are a true understanding of a concept goes beyond the ability to replicate it. While copying something might give the illusion of comprehension, real knowledge means being able to apply concepts in new and varied contexts. The internship allowed me to take principles from my game design degree and apply them to app development, which pushed me to grow as a developer.

    Overall, my internship at Glucode was a pivotal experience that helped shape my professional skills and career aspirations.

    Pat Maapola

  • The internship had a huge part in creating a solid foundation for my current role as a developer, I was exposed to a variety of different tools, frameworks and ways of thinking. The most valuable lesson I learned is that you are not born knowing everything and that it is more valuable to ask and learn from questions.

    Bronwyn dos Santos

  • Glucode's internship exposed us to multiple aspects of mobile software engineering. We got exposure to multiple architectures, design patterns, and UI frameworks. I would lie if I said that we knew exactly how to implement it all without any issues, but it set a solid foundation for the opportunities waiting.
     
    My biggest takeaway from the internship is that if you don’t have a bad case of imposter syndrome, you’re probably not challenging yourself enough.

    Ruan Jansen

  • The Internship really challenged me and helped me grow in ways I had not imagined, I had to step out of my comfort zone and adapt to the environment. I would say it showed me that I had potential to be and do more. 
    It was my first exposure into mobile development and I loved it. It taught me me to think technically through the challenges and projects that we worked. I learned how to build apps in UIKit and SwiftUI, to use source control tools, debugging and writing code and how to work in a team, and these are the scenarios I face in my role.

    I learned that the best way to learn something is to spend as much time on it, to ask for help when you don't understand something and you will come to know it.

    Makape Tema

  • The internship was an incredible opportunity for me. When I started, I had no knowledge of Swift. However, through hands-on experience and mentorship, I gained a solid understanding of its fundamentals and code structures. I learned how to navigate Xcode, create user interfaces with SwiftUI, and manage data using Core Data and other essential frameworks.

    My biggest takeaway was that it opened up a much broader world of app development for me. Working and collaborating with experienced developers, and tackling complex problems not only honed my technical skills but also deepened my appreciation for mobile technology's potential. This experience has ignited a passion in me for creating impactful applications and set a strong foundation for my future career in app development.

    Thabiso Gaereetse

  • My Internship at Glucode was instrumental in shaping me into the devloper I am today. The hands on experiene in mobile development provided me with a deep dive into iOS Development exposing me to best practices in design patterns and user experience. Collaboration with colleagues and team members taught me the importance of code quality, lesson that I carry with me into every project I undertake. 

    The most valuable experience I gained from the internship is, it taught me the value of continous learning and asking questions, something I apply daily in my current role. 

    Ontiretse Motlagale

  • The internship prepared me for my current role by demonstrating that being a developer goes beyond just writing code; it's about how you approach and solve problems. It also gave me valuable experience in collaborating with others and highlighted the differences between working for a client and working in a more isolated academic environment. The most valuable lesson I learned during that time is that there’s always something to be gained from everyone you meet. Never be afraid to ask questions—it's the key to learning and growth.

    Sthe Ndhlazi

  • My internship at Glucode was instrumental in preparing me for my current role as a developer. The experience exposed me to real-world scenarios and challenges that go beyond what is typically covered in academic settings. It provided a solid foundation and the skills needed to tackle the day-to-day demands of a professional development environment.

    One of the most valuable aspects of the internship was learning to work effectively as part of a team on a production application. Collaborating with other developers taught me the importance of clear communication, agile methodologies, and the intricacies of source control. It provided hands-on experience with real-world applications, which came with unique challenges that school projects rarely address. From debugging complex issues to optimising performance.
