Michael’s internship was with the software engineering team and he was tasked with several different projects including the standard software engineering training program called the Apex Accelerator. Over the course of several weeks, Michael presented code reviews based around the training platform’s several projects in the Apex programming language. Apex is a very similar platform to Java in syntax and allows direct integration with Salesforce. In addition to the software engineering training, Michael also participated in one large and one small group project in which solutions were presented by intern teams to solve real business problems. 

In Michael’s words: “I learned an incredible amount from this opportunity and feel validated in my ability to write code. The code review experience was nerve-racking at first but it truly made me a better and more methodical programmer in the end. I would highly recommend ATG for anyone who is wanting to improve their programming ability and gain universal professional skills along the way.”
