As a Junior Software Developer at Brainwave, the focus was on building a strong foundation in front-end development and design. I contributed to projects by developing responsive websites using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and collaborated with the UI/UX teams to translate wireframes into functional web pages. Gained hands-on experience with frameworks like React and Bootstrap, participated in code reviews, and learned best practices in debugging and optimization.

Notable Achievements:

Contributed to internal dashboards and client-facing websites, improving responsiveness and performance.
Took initiative in learning React, which became crucial in later projects.
This role helped hone technical skills and foster collaboration in real-world projects early in my career.

During the internship at Brainwave, the focus was on applying front-end development skills in real-world projects. Responsibilities included supporting the development of responsive web applications with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and collaborating with the design team on UI/UX implementation. Gained experience with React and Bootstrap, assisted in debugging and optimizing performance, and participated in team meetings and code reviews.

This internship provided a solid foundation in software development and design.
