During the autumn of 2022, I, along with two other students, completed an internship at PayEx. Here, we were tasked with investigating and ensuring the quality of one of their legacy systems. It was a close collaboration with developers, product owners, and customer service. In the assignment, we had the freedom to outline the project’s progress and plan for what we could potentially solve during the duration of our internship.
During my education in system science, I, along with two other students, worked on a project for PayEx. The project aimed to create a prototype for a new service that would make it easier for the company to assist customers in obtaining customized balance statements. In the project, we were tasked with exploring possible solutions for an API with integration into a data lake. We created a prototype using serverless functions in Azure and GraphQL, which could dynamically fetch the relevant data for the customer’s balance statement based on selected parameters.
As a communicator at AG, I was responsible for administration, business development, and the graphic profile. Since I was the only communicator, the work was self-driven while also requiring close collaboration with architects and construction engineers.
During my time at AG, I worked on various aspects of communication and administration. Unfortunately, they had to lay off all new hires when the pandemic hit, and it gave me time to think about what I wanted to do. Although I appreciate working in communication, I realized that I prefer operational work and chose to train as a system developer.
Together with a classmate, I took on the role of editor-in-chief at Malmö University’s magazine, SUM Magazine. The magazine had been around for a while and was previously named Mahskara. Since the ‘h’ in the name indicated “university college,” and the school was transitioning to university status during our time as editors, we decided to update the magazine’s name to SUM (Student Union Magazine). Being the editor-in-chief of the magazine involved everything from recruiting writers, illustrators, and photographers to setting up communication channels in Slack, designing the magazine, and conducting interviews. During our time, we released four magazines, one for each quarter, before passing it on to the next group of editors and students who wanted to contribute to the university’s own magazine.
