"I learned a lot about programming, especially how to interface with databases. I also learned how much I like work in a tech company, as compared with research at a university. This definitely made me reconsider how I felt about my future career path."
I worked on four projects while at Venture Republic. My first project was to write a script that automatically generated page templates fornew web pages on Travel.jp. This would remove a lot of tedious and repetitive work.
My second project was to write a bot that would report Google Analytics data via the Slack app. I only worked on part of this project, due to some issues hooking up the program with the Slack API.
My third project was to redesign part of the company website, vrg.jp. Venture Republic wanted the site to be brighter, more intuitive to use, and updated with new information.
My final project was to make a web scraper. It would gather large amounts of public data from the articles on retrip.jp, a competitor site, and store it in a database. Later, others would analyze that data to find what articles did better than others.
