Interviewer

Wow, that's a great point. Next question is:
Could you share something about your internship at Addis Tech? What was your role, what kind of projects did you work on, and how did the experience contribute to your growth as a developer?

Interviewee

During my internship at Addis Tech, I worked mainly as a web developer. My role involved building and improving internal tools and features, fixing bugs, and occasionally contributing to design discussions.

It was a great hands-on experience because I got to work with a real-world team, follow professional coding standards, and see how projects are managed in a company setting. It really boosted my confidence and made me a better developer overall.

Interviewer

Good, ma next question is:
Tell us about your final year project. I heard it was selected as the top project of the year congratulations! What was the project about, what challenges did you face, and what made it stand out among others?

Interviewee

My final year project, DotCode, was actually selected as the top project of the year. It’s a code snippet management platform with both a web interface and a VS Code extension.

The idea came from a common struggle many developers face managing and organizing reusable code snippets across projects. With DotCode, developers can easily save, categorize, and reuse their snippets from both their browser and directly inside VS Code.

Interviewer

Alright, ma next question is:
Is there anything you regret not doing during your time at university, or anything you did that you now wish you had approached differently?

Interviewee

If I’m being honest, one thing I wish I’d done more of is participating in hackathons and contributing to open-source projects earlier in my studies. Those experiences really accelerate your learning and broaden your network.

Interviewer

Good. Finally, would you like to share a message with our audience and us that I haven’t brought up?

Interviewee

Honestly, I don’t think I’m the kind of person who should be interviewed so I truly appreciate the respect.

I don’t have much else to add, but I just want to say we’re doing an amazing job. Please keep it up.

Thank you, Miki! We believe today’s session was truly insightful and full of valuable lessons. If you have any questions for our guest or for us, feel free to drop them in the comments section.

In our next session, we’ll be joined by another amazing guest so stay tuned! Until then, have a great evening and a bright, productive week ahead.
