  Beep Digital Solutions LLC

  Jul 2022 - Aug 2022

  Intern

  Beep is a FinTech in Brunei developing a payments and loyalty app. I researched the FinTech market to identify features relevant to add to the app and presented my insights to management to aid decision-making. I designed process flows for the merchant side of the app by imagining myself as a user and asking "What do I want to do on this page?".I learned what a working life feels like and how to manage my time. For the research, I learned to take broad instructions and use my judgement to choose what is the most relevant information to present and the best way to present it. The most important lesson was seeing how a business analyses the market and develops a product to satisfy the market. Show less
