      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

      Summer Intern

      Interned with the Progresif Digital Team on Ding! eWallet, Webstore and Progresif Events ticketing platform.1. Onboarded Ding merchants by entering merchant details into the database via a RESTful HTTP API. Configured Postman to read an Excel sheet and enter merchant details cutting data entry time from 15 minutes per company to 5 minutes per company. Onboarded 50 companies.2. Collaborated with backend developer testing and suggesting improvements to merchant onboarding web portal then wrote comprehensive documentation for merchant team to continue onboarding.3. Helped write FAQs for Ding user and merchant app by carefully considering what users and merchants want to do with Ding (e.g. How to send money) and Brunei market-specific questions (e.g. what makes Ding special compared to other eWallets already on the market?). Also consulted FAQs of other eWallets.4. Tested Ding eWallet and reported bugs to bug tracker.5. Interviewed a customer to learn what payment methods they prefer and why. This is part of market research for Ding.6. Performed Ad-hoc data science requests such as computing total transaction volume in a week.7. Wrote a tracking plan for Mixpanel analytics on the webstore. The plan featured events to track such as tracking the number of landing page visits with detailed justification on how tracking the event will boost webstore revenue.8. Provided technical support during ticket scanning by helping customers with tickets that did not scan properly. Kept customers happy and quickly resolved their ticket problems.9. I took the initiative to personally reach out to the Business Intelligence and Finance team to learn more about what they do. Show less
