Summer of Code New Zealand is an internship programme, which gives Computer Science and Engineering students the opportunity to work in cool Tech companies over the summer. Students will gain on the job experience, get paid and learn from the best minds in the business about their knowledge on cutting edge technologies.

After the internship programme I was employed as a full time staff at ProjectX Technology Ltd. My responsibilities are mainly focus on web application development by using Ruby on Rails and database design.Why do I blog?
