Hello and welcome to the blog of my Center for Digital Engagement through, Ann Arbor Spark and Eastern Michigan University, internship. I'll come up with a different name for all that in future posts, shorter, definitely shorter.
Day 1:
I was assigned to ShopWindow.io along with my partner, Nate. We had our first meeting at Spark East, out in Ypsilanti. Prior to Day 1, I'd met Gavin, CEO of ShopWindow, at TechWalk a week before and it was a great. I was able to introduce myself and get to know what ShopWindow was all about. This was my first time meeting Nate, he was great! We gathered around a conference table and started talks about what type of project we wanted to take on, as part of our internship. After discussing our interests and desires, we settled in and started plotting out our specific plans to accomplish these projects. I was enrolled in the companies various on-line courses, to understand the workings of Shop Window inside and out.
Then we had a chance to shadow Gavin at a trouble shooting/ tutoring session at one of ShopWindow's nearby clients. I had been tasked with be cameraman, to capture the whole meeting for future media uses and Nate took notes to accurately write testimonials, future blog posts and FAQs. After lunch, we sat in on a conference call with another client, a marketing manager and a tech guy from a different technology company about integrating the ShopWindow technology with a clients specific billing technology.
It was truly a day in the life of a tech start-up in 2019. We witnessed the ups and downs of dealing with incredibly advanced tools in the hands of new users. We were happily welcomed by our new company and great things are ahead!
