This internship was a huge step for me. I joined KodNest’s Java Full Stack Internship as part of Dream Factory 2024, not just to learn coding — but to challenge myself. Over the course of the program, I worked on building real-time web applications, understood how frontend and backend talk to each other, and got hands-on experience with tools like Java, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and MySQL.

What stood out the most? It wasn’t just about writing code — it was about understanding how everything connects. I got to debug my own logic, fix my own bugs (sometimes after hours!), and slowly gained confidence in building full-fledged apps from scratch. This wasn’t just an internship. It was where I proved to myself that I can be a developer.
