My name is Dirken Jarne, a 21-year-old graduated, looking for work. I live in Ravels, Antwerp, Belgium with my parents and two younger sisters. I love going to the gym, cooking meals, reading, and programming. Since my passion is programming, I chose to study Applied Computer Science at Thomas More in Geel where I achieved my bachelors degree in computer science.
I'm eager to put my knowledge and experience to the test, preferably as a full-stack programmer. I believe with my experience so far from school as well as from my own student company, I will be a valuable asset to any company. With a passion for continuous learning and a small step ahead of other students, I am confident in my ability to contribute effectively to any team or work independently and tackle challenging projects. I am excited about the future and the opportunities that lie ahead in my career.
As an Applied Computer Science student,
I've developed a variety of technical and soft skills that make me a valuable addition to any team.
During my internship at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL), I worked on developing a new e-borrowing web application to replace the old system for 13 weeks (from 28/02 until 28/05). We were a team of three students and didn't have specific job assignments. I worked full stack on the application and often felt like the team lead. I ensured that meetings were arranged, everyone stayed on schedule, stand-up meetings were conducted, and I took charge of most of the documentation.
The experience was truly wonderful, and I believe I can speak for everyone when I say we learned a great deal. This internship wasn't without its challenges, but we overcame them as a team. I feel that I grew most in my communication skills, my ability to lead a team, and the art of thinking outside the box to come up with effective solutions.
Some technical aspects. We created the application in next.js 14 which is a full stack react based framework. We coded everything in typescript for type safety. As database we used postgreSQL. For the authentication and cloud file storage for documents, photos, we used firebase. To deploy everything we created a simple docker file with docker compose.
