Planning

Year 4 Semester 2: What is my plan for the future?

As I approach the end of my Bachelor of Software Engineering at USP, I have been reflecting on my academic journey and preparing a plan for my professional future. After graduation, I aim to work as a Software Engineer or DevOps Engineer in the technology or research industry, with a long-term goal of becoming a Systems Architect or Technical Project Manager. Over the years, I have developed key SFIA skills such as software development, system design, testing, configuration management, and integration, which are demonstrated through projects like the FleetHub Vehicle Management System, Rubina SmartWard Healthcare System, and automation testing in Selenium. My work with TKW Research has further strengthened my understanding of real-world systems, API integration, and cybersecurity practices. However, I recognize that I still need to enhance my skills in areas such as cloud deployment (AWS, Azure), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), advanced automation testing, and Agile project management. To address these gaps, I plan to complete professional certifications such as AWS Cloud Practitioner and Scrum Master, and gain practical experience through upcoming projects. Reflecting on my journey, I’ve learned that software engineering is more than coding—it’s about solving problems, designing efficient systems, and adapting to evolving technology. I am committed to continuous learning, ethical practice, and contributing to innovative, impactful software solutions in the years ahead.

Reflection

Reflecting on my four-year journey in Software Engineering at USP, I can see how much I’ve grown both technically and professionally. In my early years, I was focused mainly on coding and learning programming languages like Python, Java, and C++, but as I progressed, I began to understand the importance of software design, testing, and system integration. Working on projects such as the FleetHub Vehicle Management System and Rubina SmartWard Healthcare System taught me real-world application of skills like database design, teamwork, and agile development. My role at TKW Research has been a major turning point—it allowed me to apply classroom knowledge to live industry environments, from API integrations and automation to managing Zoom Contact Center systems. These experiences have not only strengthened my technical skills but also improved my communication, leadership, and problem-solving abilities. I’ve learned that success in this field requires continuous learning, ethical awareness, and adaptability to new technologies. As I move forward, I’m motivated to upskill in cloud deployment, DevOps, and advanced testing, while continuing to grow into a well-rounded software professional who contributes meaningfully to innovation and digital transformation.
