The internship lasted for 17 weeks and consisted of two parts. The first part was being a direct part of the technical team, which consists of four employees: The Chief Technology Officer and three Unity developers. In short, this translated itself to active participation in the technical realization of customer projects and support to the technical team where possible. This entails researching the possibilities and potential of innovative technologies, contributing to the concept realization of their products and services on a technical level and Unity development activities. The internship included me in the process of new projects (which started in October 2019) from start to end. Additionally, the internship tasked me to conduct research into the possibilities and potential of applying innovative technologies. A video of the Albert Heijn Voetbal app - which I contributed to - can be found underneath.
