Day 54: Cash ISA is never ending.

🗓️ Date: 18 Dec 2025

📌 Title: Cash ISA is never ending.

Task Description

Day 54 started with a surprising email from the Cash ISA Business User, requesting more changes again. I was low-key crashing out because I thought the project was supposed to be finalised already, especially given the timeline pressure.

The BU specifically referred to Revolut and requested changes based on their expectations, which meant I had to make adjustments to align with the reference.

For the rest of the day, I focused on:

  • Implementing the Revolut-inspired changes requested by the BU

  • Continuing the ongoing task of finding and standardising bank logos

Challenges & Solutions

The biggest challenge was the emotional fatigue and frustration from repeated changes, especially when the project was expected to be finalised. To manage this, I focused on completing the requested changes step by step and keeping track of the modifications to avoid missing anything.

Key Learnings & Skills Gained

I learned to stay resilient during constant iterations and how to manage unexpected changes even when the timeline feels tight. I also continued strengthening my skills in asset sourcing and standardisation.

Reflection & Next Steps

Day 54 was a reminder that finalisation is sometimes just a feeling, not reality. Next steps are to complete the requested Revolut-based adjustments, keep updating the Cash ISA mockup, and continue finalising the bank logos as required.

Day 1: Getting Started at iFAST!

🗓️ Date:   6 Oct 2025 📌 Title:  Getting started at iFAST! Task Description Today marked my first day of internship at the company. The day began with a newcomer briefing where I was introduced to the company, its structure, rules, and employee benefits by 3 HR staffs. Following that, I set up my Face ID for office access and went on an office tour to get familiar with the workspace. Before getting assigned to my desk, I was given a work laptop and asked to set it up, which included configuring my Outlook email, accessing the company intranet, and setting up iFast chat for communication.

Day 6: Monday Chaos!

🗓️  Date:  13  Oct 2025 📌 Title:  Monday Chaos! Task Description In my second week of internship, I continued working on the  Fixed Deposit (FD)  and  Notice Deposit (ND)  UI enhancement project. My supervisor had provided several  comments and suggestions  based on last week’s progress, so my main task was to  review, refine, and amend the designs accordingly . The goal was to improve layout consistency, alignment, and overall visual clarity to ensure a more polished and user-friendly interface. During the week, our team also held a  weekly meeting  to update one another on current tasks and project timelines. I was assigned to  prepare slides and present my updates , which was my  first time presenting during the internship . Although I felt nervous and uncertain at first, it turned out to be a valuable learning experience thanks to the constructive feedback I received from my supervisor and seniors. Challeng...

Day 41: Brainstorming and Braincracking

  🗓️  Date:  29 Nov  2025 📌 Title:  Brainstorming and Braincracking Task Description I started the day by discussing the recent Cash ISA meeting outcomes with another IT team member who was on leave, updating him on the latest requirement changes. Following that, I brainstormed together with him and my SV on the new flow for Cash ISA Transfer-In, now that partial transfers also need to be supported. Initially, I was expecting Joanna to send over the updated flow for this change, but since it hadn’t come through, we decided not to wait and risk delaying the project timeline. Instead, we proactively moved forward by coming up with a proposed new flow ourselves. Given the uncertainty, we chose to create a wireframe in FigJam rather than jumping straight into high-fidelity mockups, as we wanted to avoid double work if changes were still needed. We then scheduled a meeting with Joanna at 6 PM to walk her through the proposed flow first, before presenting anything t...
