Adrian Reginald Sy, EECS '19

"I learned a lot this summer and I hope that more MIT students will be able to have the same experience I did."

The main company I worked for is called IBJ which consists of seceral sub-companies that work under their triangle business model where each sub-company supports the others.

The specific company I worked for was called Internet Academy whose main goal is to teach people web development skills via a variety of classes each focusing on a specific skill or skillset needed by web developers.

The main project we worked on most of the summer was building an online testing platform where anyone can test their web development skills. One part of the project was writing up the questions to be used and the other was designing the platform for easy use and management.

I learned enough of the topics we had to write the questions for through my classes at MIT and supplemented my previous knowledge through research and company textbooks. As for developing the web platform, I relied on my previous web development skills I picked up from a software development class I took at MIT.
