As a software engineer, the participation in the competition project offered substantial practical experience, greatly enriching my resume. This opportunity allowed me to apply and refine my technical skills in real-world cases, which is essential for demonstrating my ability on practical projects instead of just knowing the theory without practice. Additionally, the competition simulated a collaborative work environment, mirroring real-world company workflows and offering insight into effective teamwork dynamics. It also challenged me to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical peoples, incorporate their feedback, and creatively adapt their ideas using existing technologies, further strengthening my professional skill set.
