| dc.description.abstract | This report outlines the work of a 6 month internship at GoZayaan, a startup travel company in Dhaka, Bangladesh. GoZayaan is the leading travel and tourism company in Bangladesh known for its innovative solutions, commitment to exceptional travel experiences, and a wide range of offerings catering to diverse customer preferences. I had the chance to learn a lot about the travel and tourism sectors during my academic internship at GoZayaan. Working with the GoZayaan team allowed me to put what I had learned in the classroom to use in actual situations, furthering the goal of the business to offer customers cutting-edge travel options. ‘Hometown - Book flights & more’ app is one of the products of GoZayaan, which provides hassle-free flight ticketing services to specifically Bangladeshi migrant workers in Singapore. And recently, GoZayaan has taken up a project to provide a seamless remittance service for migrant workers through the Hometown app. When I applied at GoZayaan, I was recruited in September 2022 as a Junior Software Engineer in the Backend team, which used Django, a Python-based web development framework, to build backend systems and APIs. But we decided to use FastAPI, a Python-based web framework for building APIs, to build the APIs for the remittance service project. This project has enabled me to apply a lot of the knowledge I gained from my 4-year CSC bachelor program at Independent University, Bangladesh. My work as an academic intern started in April 2023 and focused only on building the backend APIs for the remittance project. This report covers the entire project, the research and development process that went into it, as well as what I learned while working for a company that specializes in providing travel solutions during my internship. | en_US |
