Self-Assessment

During my internship at First Cloud AI Journey (FCAJ) - AWS from 9 Aug, 2025 to Dec, 2025, I had the opportunity to learn, practice, and apply the knowledge acquired in school to a real-world working environment.

I participated in the Document QA with AWS Bedrock project - an Intelligent Document Analysis System using RAG, through which I improved my skills in Cloud Computing (AWS), Generative AI, Serverless Architecture, and Full-stack Development.

Additionally, I completed:

  • 14 weeks of labs with a lot of AWS services AWS services
  • 3 technical blogs translation
  • AWS events (Cloud Day, Cloud Mastery Series, …)
  • 1 self-built workshop (Amazon QuickSight)

In terms of work ethic, I always strived to complete tasks well, complied with workplace regulations, and actively engaged with colleagues to improve work efficiency.

To objectively reflect on my internship period, I would like to evaluate myself based on the following criteria:
