Title: Frontend Developer - Student Worker

Education: BA degree in Software Engineering

My typical day as a student worker at Kamstrup

Because I only work 2 or 3 days per week, the first thing I normally do is go through messages, emails and GitLab to see what my team has been up to the last few days. At 8.45 we have the first meeting of the day and after that I begin to work in the different tasks that I have assigned, which vary from week to week and can be related to fixing bugs in the applications or creating new features for them, among other things. If I am working at the office, I'll stop at 11.30 to have lunch with my colleagues, however most days I work from home and I have lunch a bit later. I normally have a few more meetings throughout the day, and I get to talk to a lot of people from the company. Usually, I finish working around 16. 

What motivates me to work at Kamstrup

Learning more and more each day, from my colleagues and from the experiences that Kamstrup offers. I also like that I can apply what I learn in university to a real working environment, and now that I am almost done with my studies, I get to do my bachelor project in collaboration with the company. And not only that, but while I do all of this, I know that I am contributing to a better and more sustainable world. 

My educational background and career aspirations

I didn't really know that I wanted to study software until I came to Denmark. In Spain I enrolled in Mechanical and Product design and Development Engineering but in Denmark in the Software Engineering degree they were offering courses about videogame development, virtual reality and augmented reality and it seemed super interesting for me. It was a bit of a leap of faith that turned out very well. About my career expectations, I am almost sure that I want to be frontend developer in the future, but I would also like to try different things, I have a course on artificial intelligence that I have really enjoyed, and maybe I would like to create my own videogame at some point. I love that there are a thousand possibilities for what I could end up as in the future, I am open to any opportunity. 

What I you enjoy the most about my job as a student worker at Kamstrup

The people and the flexibility. Everybody is super nice and helpful and that makes working here super enjoyable. And as a student that needs to manage university classes, group projects and free time for hobbies, sports, or friends, I like the flexibility that Kamstrup offers me, which allows me to have my studies as my first priority.

What drives me

That every day I can face new challenges, learn new things, be creative and become a better version of myself.

Fun fact

My favorite movies are Pirates of the Caribbean, and I named my cats after Jack Sparrow and the Black Pearl.
