400 days at KPL
Updated: January 30th 2024
My internship at KPL was the beginning of an unforgettable journey, beginning of my corporate life. This experience holds a special place in my heart
At KPL, I stepped into a vibrant environment where I not only made friends but also got my first taste of corporate life and the dynamics of working in an office setting. The support from my team and manager was unparalleled. They played a crucial role in helping me understand my job responsibilities. I have a knack for quickly picking up instructions, which made the training period particularly rewarding.
About a month in, I took on the Wiki project. My role involved developing instructions for the IT staff and adding fresh content and policies to the platform. Gathering and organizing this information deepened my understanding of the company and its operations. This project was my first professional experience in web development and proved to be incredibly fulfilling.
Moving to the next project,I led a Photoshop class for beginners, targeting individuals who had never used the software. The class was a huge success. All of my students dropped excellent reviews and said they would recommend others to take the class.
Fast forward to 2024, and I am now gearing up to launch an Advanced Photoshop Class, integrating the PhotoShop's latest AI features. The class is designed to be a learning experience and familiarizing the capabilities of AI. Check out the handbook for the class below:
While working at KPL I have also worked on multiple web apps used for 3D Print Orders, Hotspot check-out for the public school and item check-out. I learned new frameworks like SvelteKit and database tools like NoSQL, PostgreSQL. This journey at KPL was filled with growth and building new relationships.
