Work
During my internship, I had the opportunity to explore two distinct realms of the company. In the IT department, I delved into the intricate world of ERP systems, contributing to their development and gaining a profound understanding of their pivotal role in a company's operations. Transitioning to the Software Development department, I immersed myself in the art of programming, learning about industrial standards, collaborating on projects, and embracing cutting-edge technologies relevant to the robotics industry.
This journey has transformed me both personally and professionally. As I concluded my internship, I felt a profound sense of readiness for the next chapter in my professional life. The experience has not only equipped me with valuable skills and knowledge but has also ignited a deep passion for the work I am poised to pursue
Experience
During my internship, I had the opportunity to experience the breathtaking beauty of Switzerland, which is often considered a paradise on earth. The country's allure lies in its magnificent Alps, pristine rivers, and awe-inspiring mountains. The majestic Alps offer not only stunning landscapes but also a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, while the crystal-clear rivers and the picturesque mountains contribute to the country's idyllic charm. Switzerland's natural splendor truly makes it a heavenly destination, captivating the hearts of all who have the privilege of experiencing its wonders.
In addition to the natural beauty, I lived at the student's hostel where I got to see different cultures, perspectives, beliefs, and traditions. This experience showed me the beauty of life and how we can be different yet still intrinsically the same. The hostel environment provided a unique opportunity to immerse myself in a diverse community, fostering a sense of togetherness and enabling me to learn and appreciate various aspects of global culture beyond my academic pursuits. Food. I loved the food and cuisine that I found in Europe, including Switzerland's favorite fondue.

During my time in Switzerland, I underwent a remarkable transformation. I arrived as a fervent advocate for blockchain technology, but I departed with a profound passion for robotics. The journey from being a self-assured professional to embracing the virtues of patience and resilience was a pivotal part of my experience. Engaging in industrial standard projects that demanded collaboration, testing, and regulation revealed the importance of these qualities in my career development. This shift in perspective led me to realize that I had evolved from a scholar to a manager during my tenure in Switzerland.
