Searching for Internships

Hello! As I continue my journey toward becoming a software engineer, I've been actively searching for internships to gain practical experience and build my skills. The process has been both exciting and challenging. I've learned a lot about the industry, improved my coding abilities, and discovered what it takes to stand out in a competitive field.

One of the key lessons I've learned is the importance of mastering the fundamentals of HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. These core technologies form the backbone of web development, and having a strong grasp of them has been crucial in my internship search. I've dedicated significant time to building and refining projects that showcase my abilities in these areas, from creating responsive layouts with CSS to adding interactive elements with JavaScript. Highlighting these projects in my applications has helped me demonstrate my technical proficiency and problem-solving skills to potential employers.

Networking has also played a crucial role in my search. By attending meetups, participating in online forums, and connecting with professionals on LinkedIn, I've gained valuable insights and advice. These interactions have not only provided me with potential job leads but also helped me stay motivated and inspired. The journey is far from over, but with each step, I'm getting closer to securing an internship and achieving my goal of becoming a software engineer.

Tools like Page Speed Insights and Google Lighthouse are great for providing advice for front end performance issues. But what these tools can’t do, is evaluate performance across your entire stack of distributed services and applications.
