During my internship at Bluescope Building North America, I contributed to the full-stack development of internal web applications designed to improve workflow efficiency and data accessibility within the organization. Working within a Scrum-based agile team, I participated in all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), from requirements gathering and system design to implementation, testing, and deployment.

On the frontend, I developed user interfaces using React, focusing on creating responsive, intuitive components that improve user interaction and usability. On the backend, I worked with C# to implement application logic, handle data processing, and integrate external services. A key part of my work involved integrating RESTful APIs, enabling the applications to retrieve and manage data from external sources in a scalable and maintainable way.

I collaborated closely with team members through code reviews, sprint planning, and daily stand-ups, ensuring alignment with project goals and timelines. Using Git for version control, I managed code changes, contributed to shared repositories, and followed best practices for collaborative software development.

This experience strengthened my ability to work in a professional development environment, balancing technical implementation with teamwork, communication, and iterative improvement.
