My HNG Internship: Greatness is imminent

Introduction

Hi, I'm Kagiri - an Android developer. I was looking for a platform to practice Android development both extensively and intensively. It was then that I saw a retweet about NHG internship from a friend. I looked into it and decided to join the internship. That is why I am writing to you today friends.

If you are reading this and feel like you need to bridge your theoretical knowledge to practical problem solving, please consider looking into the zuri internship program here

The following are my goals for this training

1. I want to cultivate my problem-solving skills.
2. To learn how to work and collaborate in a development team.
3. Learn how to handle myself professionally in the tech space.
4. Network and mingle with like minded persons.
