As part of my Work Integrated Learning (WIL) program, I joined Sikephi App (Pty) Ltd, a software development company focused on innovative digital solutions. My role involved contributing to real-world software and web projects, where I applied both front-end and back-end skills acquired during my studies.
Key responsibilities and achievements:
Assisted in developing and maintaining multiple web and mobile applications, including:
MPPV App – designed for reporting and tracking missing people, pets, and vehicles.
Ingenuity App – a bulk purchasing platform for retail operations.
Sikephi Train Booking App – focused on user interface enhancements and usability testing.
Built landing pages and improved UI/UX designs for clients such as Mason Lincoln Special School.
Gained hands-on experience using PHP, MySQL, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, and design tools like Figma.
Collaborated in agile team environments, attended project planning meetings, and contributed to technical documentation.
Strengthened my skills in debugging, responsiveness, and version control while working on live systems.
This internship helped me bridge the gap between academic theory and practical software development in a professional setting.
