Challenges that I met during my internship

• Technical Implementation
  One challenge I encountered during my internship involved the implementation and technical skills of a complex data visualization component using Vue as this is a new Framework I learn when I enter Bitlab. Hence I still lack technical skills and knowledge of what is Vue capable of. The only way of overcoming this challenge is by asking seniors and browsing it through the internet. This challenge not only deepened my understanding of the Vue Framework but also honed my problem-solving skills and learn how things are done in Bitlab.
  
  
• Project Deadline and Prioritization
  Another significant challenge I faced was managing tight project deadlines and prioritizing tasks efficiently. At one point, I remember I was juggling multiple projects simultaneously.

This experience taught me the importance of staying organized and communicating effectively with our project managers and team.
