Transforming Legal Case Management with Efficient Data Solutions
Role: Software developer | Project Duration: Feb 2022 - Jul 2023
The Beginning of a Learning Journey
When I joined Kodem Legal Technologies as a Software Developer Intern, I was eager to expand my technical knowledge and contribute to meaningful projects. I was introduced to Angular and Spring Boot, two powerful frameworks widely used for building scalable, responsive applications. Although I was new to these technologies, I was excited to dive in and learn.
I developed a demo application using Angular for the frontend and Spring Boot for the backend. Over the next 30 days, I immersed myself in these frameworks, understanding core concepts such as component-based architecture, dependency injection, and RESTful API integrations.
Successfully built a demo application, which laid the foundation for my future contributions to the platform.
My First Task: Implementing a Dynamic FAQ Section
My first task was to develop a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section as a modal window to reduce repetitive support queries. The feature provided clear, accessible answers across the platform.
The impact: a 20% reduction in support queries and improved user satisfaction as users resolved issues independently.
