Projects
Data Insights
Started out as a project to gain insights from external vendors
Email Client launched
What kind of metrics measures the success of the launch?
So I asked myself...
Number of new email accounts connected to the app.
Turns out the metrics were pretty useful...
So a few more insights were requested
What it will not be...
- Undocumented
- Poorly structured
- Just another dead project when I leave
SDKs
SDKs
- Makes development for 3rd party developers delightful
- Given my experience with Open Source Software, this was a very relevant project
Let's have an EasilyDo chatbot!
Proposal
Implementation
The project came to a slight halt.
What have I learnt?
A different kind of internship...
Experience at ShopBack
- Fast-paced
- Filled with energy
- Insane working hours
Could also be because I was a

Here at EasilyDo
- Mature company, moves at a slower pace
- Not as energetic
- Very few iterations as a Platform Engineer
Boring
Mundane
Stagnate
Opportunity.
- To experiment
