Intern Spotlight: Brushing up as a Front End Development Intern with Edgetechies by Khalid Bello

 





Today I completed my internship as a frontend developer at Edgetechies. The past few months have been filled with learning and professional growth. The internship started in December 2020 in the middle of the pandemic where physical learning had been restricted. Hence, the internship was a virtual one. However, I decided to keep a positive mindset and utilize the opportunity to learn and grow.

In the course of the internship, I was taught how to make use of several web development technologies such as; Content Delivery Network(CDN), Minification (CSS and JavaScript), CSS transition and animations, SVG manipulation, web accessibility etc. I also learnt some CSS and JavaScript frameworks such as Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap4 and React JS. 

The internship was truly engaging as I got to work on several projects, one of the major projects being a website for a fish farmer’s business. For this project I was responsible for creating the home, about, products, order and contact-us sections. I got to use several web development tools and technologies in this project such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap4, Image optimization, Netlify etc. Some minor projects I worked on include a To-do app, social media dashboard, landing page for a business etc.

I want to use this opportunity to appreciate some individuals for making my internship a fulfilling one;
Damola Anjorin, thank you for granting me the opportunity to gain industry experience and for believing in me. Tunji Oyeniran, my supervisor, thank you so much for your time and patience.

The internship has led me to be a proactive and effective communicator, create project plans and also gain some working experience in the technology space.

The Coded Value of Social Enterprises: Impact That Sustains

At Edgetechies, we believe every enterprise carries two types of value: the visible kind—revenues, customers, partnerships—and the coded kind, which sits beneath the surface. For social enterprises, that coded value lies in their ability to deliver impact while also building paths to profitability and sustainability . For years, many viewed social enterprises as charity-adjacent, destined to rely on grants or goodwill. But the truth is different. When structured right, social enterprises can be among the most resilient and scalable business models of our time. Their coded value is in how they turn human problems into market opportunities —balancing purpose with business sense. Purpose as a Growth Engine The most successful social enterprises don’t chase impact at the expense of profit. They harness purpose as a growth engine. Take SkillHer , for example. What began as a safe space for women to learn and upskill has grown into a thriving community unlocking new opportunities across N...
