I had a technical interview and showcased Ciku. They were really impressed with the project. Specifically they were interested in the fact that it was a team project with other roles, and that it was about solving a problem we cared about rather than a tutorial project.
Before Propel I had never coded with anyone else, and especially never even committed to a shared repo (or set one up for that matter). To put into words what I have gained is tricky because I gained so much, although I think it was mostly confidence and the skills of working in a team that will see me through my following journeys. I highly recommend Propel to anyone that might be considering giving it a go.
Before Propel I had never worked with developers, and I was initially worried that my inexperience would somehow bring the team down. But I learned that despite the differences in our roles, we were all after the same goal of building a great product. I worked with amazing people who were passionate about the project, happy to answer questions about the technical aspects, and who had many great ideas that contributed to my growth as a designer.
I really enjoyed working on a project outside that allowed me to explore different types of technology. My team was great and I loved the mentorship provided by Propel.
Propel gave me a great opportunity to learn and practice doing user research. It was a pleasure working with two other team members that is experienced with front-end and back-end development in a smaller team. This gave me a new perspective to understand the different constraints we had to work with within building a MVP in 10 weeks.
It was an immensely positive experience, offering an opportunity to create something useful in a collaborative environment where people are keen to share their knowledge and experience.
I really enjoyed my time getting to know everyone. I think this was a great program to be apart of because it challenges you to figure out what you know and what you want to build on.
Working on the EyeCommander project was definitely a milestone for me in my career development. The difference between projects with toy datasets and projects with real data is considerable and having a mentor along the way was invaluable. It was a unique experience to be able to contribute to a project as impactful as the EyeCommander and I'm thrilled with what my team was able to achieve in such a short time frame!
