What are you studying?
– I am studying front-end development at JENSEN University of Applied Sciences in Stockholm, where I started in 2023. I have completed all courses and currently have my first LIA position at Compare in Karlstad.

How did you get on this track?
– What attracted me to start frontend development is my interest in programming with HTML, CSS and JavaScript as well as UX/UI. After 2 years of working in different places, I decided to study and start my journey in an IT career.

What attracted you to Compare?
– It was very difficult to find an LIA position in Stockholm because I didn't have any contacts or work experience in programming. In the end, I started looking outside of Stockholm and got in touch with my supervisor at Compare who I could get along with.

How has it been so far?
– So far it has been good and exciting, even though it was a bit challenging to get into the routine the first few weeks at Compare. Now I feel more confident but I still have a lot to learn. The most fun is traveling by train from Stockholm to Karlstad and visiting the office twice a week, even though I have to wake up at 3:30 AM.

What do you hope to gain from your internship?
– I hope to gain experience working in IT, especially as a UX/UI designer, and ideally get a job at Compare if I do a good job. It would be a great gift and give me an opportunity to develop in my professional role and gain valuable experience.

What do you do in your free time?
– In my free time, I exercise, spend time with loved ones, and explore subjects such as history, culture, language, psychology, cooking, IT, and programming. I also love to travel, especially to Turkey, Spain, and culturally rich countries.
