Day 57: Dark Mode and New Projects

 🗓️ Date: 23 Dec 2025

📌 Title: Dark Mode and New Projects

Task Description

Day 57 was a bit calmer, and I used the time to work on the Cash ISA dark theme. I leveraged the dark theme library created by our colleague, enabling the mockups to be easily switched between light and dark modes without recreating screens from scratch. This makes the design more scalable and consistent across both themes.

My SV looped me into a call regarding the iGB Business Banking Revamp project. I haven’t started work on it yet, but it’s now on my radar and I will begin contributing soon.

I continued refining the Cash ISA web mockups, specifically working on popups and modals to ensure they align with the Business User’s requests and feedback.

Challenges & Solutions

The main challenge was ensuring the dark theme implementation remained consistent with the light version, while keeping the UI readable and user-friendly. Using the shared dark theme library helped streamline the process and maintain consistency. 

Key Learnings & Skills Gained

I learned how to work with a shared design system component library and apply it to real project mockups, making theme switching more efficient. I also strengthened my understanding of aligning popups and modals with business requirements.

Reflection & Next Steps

Day 57 was a productive and more relaxed day compared to recent weeks. Next steps are to continue refining Cash ISA web mockups and begin work on the iGB Business Banking Revamp once the project starts officially.

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. Additionally, I completed onboarding formalities such as checking emails, submitting required documents, and complete some mandatory quizzes like PDPA Training and  IT Security Awareness Onboarding Training. Toward the end of the day, I received my first task: Converting web screens into mobile app screens for the iFast Global Bank Cash Dropdown feature. I also attended the weekly Monday...

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...
