      Software Development Placement - 6 weeks

      Over my 6-week summer placement with Totalmobile, I have learned about the role of a Software Developer, I really enjoyed the experience of getting to work with new and exciting technologies and working on and contributing to live tickets that will be used and implemented within TotalMobile.Within my 6 week Summer internship with Totalmobile, I have completed 2-week sprints within 3 different teams. This has allowed me to gain an exceptional amount of experience and was a great way to experience what is going on across the company.I was made to feel very welcome and comfortable within all the teams I was a part of.I have learnt so much from each individual team I was a part of. The first team I was a part of was the MARS Project team where I was working with DocFX and modernized the Totalmobile SDK publishing pipeline. Converting and updating their documentation from Sandcastle to DocFX.The second team I joined was the Mobilize team where I was working with Android Studio and emulators and I was in charge of switching from APKs to App Bundles. I used Gradle to firstly build an APK then found a solution to convert it into an App Bundle which Totalmobile will be using moving forward.Lastly, I was working with the Integrations team where I was working on Powershell Scripts for creation and implementation and investigating the use of SQLPackage.exe to removed reliance on RedGate tooling.
