I'm Uche, a graduate from the Department of Petroleum Engineering at the Federal University Of Technology Owerri (FUTO).
Tech
skills are quite popular today but acquiring it can be a daunting task, hence
a lot of people explore bootcamps and internship opportunities.
Interning
with an organization entails taking up a job or responsibility within that
organization in order to learn or master a certain skill or profession. I grew
up getting inclined to technology even though I majored in a different field.
This inclination saw me try to find where I could intern to master tech skills
after previously trying to learn programming and data analytics on my own.
Interning
with Meghee Inc. in the last couple of months has been an amazing experience.
The internship experience so far has been uniquely refreshing as all interns
are engrained in the day to day activities of the organization, rather than
being peripheral parts of the organization.
Together
with fellow interns admitted into the internship program, we commenced our
internship on Monday 15 June, where I was paired with another intern under the
UI/UX Stack.
The journey thus far has been educative and challenging as well as it takes a good
level of dedication and discipline to achieve anything worthwhile. I have been
immersed thoroughly in UI/UX design, more than I would have on my own. The UI/UX
design instructor is very friendly and succinct in delivering and passing on
knowledge and I feel very confident already.
I have
been able to learn about UI/UX fundamentals, the difference between UI and UX, how
to use design tools like Adobe XD, color combinations, how to recreate
existing designs and also spot errors and flaws in existing designs, low
fidelity and high-fidelity wireframes, and prototyping.
I have
also been taught how to create a design from scratch. In addition to
the above, there is also the added advantage of working and learning with real
time projects when you intern with Meghee Inc., as I have been drafted onto a team that would execute an upgraded version of one of her products.
The
organizational culture at Meghee Inc. is wonderful and one to be experienced as
well. From my very first day at the organization, it was obvious everyone is a
family and I was made to feel like a part of this family from that moment.
Fridays
are usually reserved for burning out steam after the week’s activities, this is
done by incorporating and creating a balance between work and play and/or
inviting professionals who have gone ahead to achieve so much in the profession
to inspire us. Needless to say, Meghee upheld her core values of mastery,
excellence, goal-driven, humanity, eminence, and exceptionality.
From
having teammates who are your biggest fans to management that cares and are
invested in your growth, I must say Meghee truly met her objectives of
providing solutions and exceeding expectations, as I have been blown away thus
far.
