My first contact with La Mosca was during a company interview for the module Process Management. The purpose of this interview was to become more familiar with how a company organizes itself and how agile development methods such as Agile and Scrum is actually practiced in real life. During this interview I quickly became fascinated by the product La Mosca makes -even though we also had an interesting discussion about Agile.

In essence La Mosca makes citygames, these are mainly interactive GPS games played with other people in a real life setting. This is made possible by mobile apps/games that "upgrade" the world by augmenting it.

After a second encounter during a speeddating session it quickly became clear I'd love to do my internship at the company.

Together with Matthias, an IT student at Odisee, I am currently interning at La Mosca. Because I already had some familiarity with the React framework, I have been given the task to update and extend an existing live/replay map application. Future tasks will most likely include further developing the existing games en integrating with diverse external gateways and API's.

Mainly the modules I took in the fifth semester have already proven to be excellent choices. My knowledge of Web -and Android development have already come in handy many times. Besides that -in my opinion- the many work-groups I partook in during my education at HoWest have clearly given me an advantage in the company's work environment.
