This is a brief overview of the skills acquired and what I accomplished during my work term with Qool Media Holdings.

Qool Media Holdings (System1 Canada) is a subsidiary of System1. It's located in Guelph, Ontario with the System1 main office located in Venice, California. System1 is an advertising and publishing company with multiple offices across North America.

My main goals for this work term were to learn PHP/WordPress, to become better at socializing and interacting with people I'm not well acquainted with, and to be able to manage and juggle multiple tasks.

I developed many skills throughout this work term which include: participating in the sprint process, how to work with WordPress/PHP, SCSS, SQL, various debugging, and QA methods. I also learned more about the Git workflow process and review process.

This will be beneficial in my next work term because I will have had prior experience and knowledge in working in Web/Software development.

My work term as a Front End Developer at System1 involved working on several sites to fix various bugs and implement new site features. This was done using HTML, JS, SCSS, and PHP.

The most notable project I worked on was the implementation of a new poll plugin on a site to replace a defective one. This involved finding a new poll plugin to replace the old one, cleaning the DB of any instances of the old poll, implementing the new poll plugin to be used with a new DB to be used solely by this plugin. Prior to this work term, I had no knowledge of WordPress, PHP, or SQL. I learned these as I went along but I also used skills I had learned outside of this job/in school. Some of these include CSS, HTML, and JS.

Overall, I learned various skills: SQL, PHP, SCSS, JS, just to name a few, and these skills will be beneficial in my studies and future work terms. I hope to learn even more in my future work terms.

This was my second work term at System1 and my main goals for this term were to become more familiar with the WordPress site and theme structure, to further advance my expertise and knowledge of CSS and SASS, and also to further develop my critical thinking skills.

I developed many skills throughout this work term which included: developing WordPress themes, SCSS, various debugging, and QA methods. I also learned more about the Git workflow process and review process.

My work term as a Front End Developer at System1 involved working on several sites to fix bugs and implement new site features. I fixed various bugs including some display and formatting bugs but most notably I was involved in the development of System1's ‘Unified theme'. This was a WordPress theme which's intention was to unify different System1 websites into one theme in order to make the development and implementation of new features easier and more versatile. I had WordPress and PHP experience from my previous work term which was extremely beneficial during this term and allowed me to easily acquire the necessary skills and knowledge required for partaking in this theme's development.

Overall, I was able to increase my knowledge with WordPress and various other skills, and believe I will be able to advance these skills further and acquire new skills in the future.

This was my last work term at System1 and my main goals for this term were to become more familiar with ES6 JavaScript.

I developed many skills and learned a lot from this work term. I gained a deeper understanding of certain AWS technologies such as S3 storage and CloudFront distributions even though I didn't work with them directly. My position at System1 involved the development and styling of new page templates.

I used CSS to style various pages and create some animations. I became more familiar with CSS grids and learnt about logical properties. Towards the end of my work term, I developed a vehicle SERP which flexed and tested the majority of skills that I acquired throughout my work terms at System1, including SCSS, PHP, Alpine.js, ES6 JavaScript, CSS animations, JSON and some others.

Overall, I believe I was able to achieve my goals and was able to further my knowledge of skills I was already familiar with and also acquire knowledge of new technologies.
