About Candidate
Hello, I am Lulu! A very passionate software developer. I am 20 years old and have being to become a full-stack developer for 2 years. The reason I am looking for an internship is to finish my degree and I am super excited to start working.
I am always thinking in solutions and am a very analytical thinker. I can pick up on new concepts quickly and use my already acquired knowledge in new and different ways. During my studies I’ve learned to work well in a development team and have a structured scrum plan and test my software regularly. I like working in a team and can focus very well individually to be very productive and efficient. Whenever I can help out my friends around me I will always try to teach and help out. I am hoping to work in a team where I can also ask for help and learn from others.
I’ve been learning and using front-end tools like HTML, CSS and JavaScript for 2 years and have been busy for a year with back-end tools like PHP and it’s framwork Symfony together with the database MySQL.
I am looking for an internship where i can build on this skills and broughten my knowledge in web development, software development or focus more deeply in either front-end or back-end. I am looking to work for 26 weeks in Australia, I really like the culture over there and hope to go to my internship with a smile every day.
When I am not working or studying I love to go running and listen to music in my free time to clear my head.
If you have any more questions about me feel free to reach out!

During my first year, I focused on learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which I have two years of experience with and learned web development concepts like responsive design, accessibility and user experience.In my second year of studying, I learned about PHP, MySQL, and the Symfony framework. I have one year of experience in these areas, which helped me to create dynamic web applications, connect and handle databases, and build functional websites.My study taught me that working with others is very important. We worked together a lot in teams, used GitHub and used Scrum to manage projects. I've also learned to write requirement analyses, technical plans, and functional plans and learned to test my software regularly.
