Returning to the Basics in an Internship and a New Challenge in DL Fundamentals

Hello, this is Haruta Watanabe.

First, I apologize for the delay in this post.

While I usually develop mobile apps and websites, I have now completed the 27th week of my studies with a view towards a career as a software engineer and data scientist. This week was a fulfilling one, combining realizations from a practical workshop with the start of a new, advanced learning journey.

Week 27 Reflection

This week, while continuing my daily algorithm and English studies, there were two major topics:

• Taking on a 1-Day Internship (Engineering Workshop) I participated in an internship that simulated practical work. Through the workshop, I relearned the fundamental yet most important part of software development: the “naming” of variables and functions. It was a valuable opportunity to gain a professional perspective conscious of team development and maintainability.
• Starting the Matsuo-Iwasawa Lab’s “Deep Learning Fundamentals” Course Following GCI, which I successfully completed recently, I have newly started taking the “Deep Learning Fundamentals” course from the same laboratory. I am stepping into a more advanced and specialized area, but I will stick with it until the very end and definitely aim to complete it.

Week 28 Goals

In week 28, I will proceed with raising my foundational skills and solidifying new input in parallel.

• Continued Study of Algorithms and Data Structures
• Strengthening English Learning (Listening & Speaking)
• Earnestly Tackling and Catching Up on the New “DL Fundamentals” Course

Going Forward

I will continue to post a summary of my previous week’s reflection and my goals for the current week every Monday.

Thank you for your continued support.
