After a thrilling and intense few months, I’ve just wrapped up the HNG11 internship, and I’m incredibly proud to share that I was among the 500 finalists selected from over 20,000 applicants! 🎉
Starting on June 27th, thousands of interns across various tracks, including Project Managers, Developers, Designers, Video Marketers, Data Analysts, and DevOps specialists, embarked on this journey. Being part of the DevOps track, I faced numerous challenging tasks that tested my abilities and expanded my skill set. I worked with tools like Helm, Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes, Bash, Python, GitHub Actions, and more.
As the Chief Mentor, Mark Essien, put it:
“All of you are special. 20k wanted to be finalists, 500 made it. You have proven something to yourself. You are special, never forget that. Where everyone gave up, you kept going. You have that strength, you have that willpower, you have that intelligence.”
One of the highlights was collaborating with a fantastic team to develop and deploy a game app Remote Bingo from dev to staging and finally to production. This project, along with many others, taught me invaluable lessons about teamwork, resilience, and the power of persistence.
A big shoutout to all my team members and mentors who made this experience so rewarding. I’m grateful for your support, guidance, and the memories we created together.
On to the next challenge!💯
