Shabs is a very collaborative and understanding employer. I enjoyed working with Shabs a lot.

Working with the FindGrant team on the AI-Powered Grant Assistant was an incredibly rewarding and insightful experience. The project presented a meaningful opportunity to apply AI solutions to a real-world problem—simplifying the complex grant proposal process—and contribute to a platform with genuine social impact. Overall, the collaboration was highly professional, well-structured, and aligned with industry best practices.

Collaborating with the industry partner on the AI-powered grant proposal generation project was a highly rewarding experience. I was involved in designing eligibility extraction criteria, supporting the automated proposal generation pipeline, and contributing to report documentation. This project gave me practical exposure to how AI can streamline complex workflows in the grant application process, while also deepening my understanding of ethical AI implementation in real-world systems.

I recently completed a project with FindGrant implementing an AI-based recommender system for grants, which was an invaluable experience that enhanced both my technical skills and professional development. The team provided clear requirements and responsive communication throughout the process, enabling me to deliver a functional system that effectively matched users with relevant grant opportunities. Through this project, I gained practical experience in recommendation algorithms, data preprocessing, and AI implementation while deepening my understanding of the grants ecosystem. FindGrant's industry expertise and constructive feedback significantly enhanced the quality of my work, and I would strongly recommend this experience to other students interested in applying AI solutions to create meaningful impact in the funding sector.

Really helpful and easy to work with. Was a pleasure working with him on his project.

Working at PopIn was an interesting experience, the work was independent and challenging, and had a lot of freedom to go with it. It was a great opportunity to apply my skills in a real-world setting and deliver something end-to-end with full accountability. I appreciated the flexibility and the chance to work at my own pace while still making a meaningful contribution.

Had a great time working with the team, they are very organized and have fast communication. I was able to gain lots of practical experience and learn a ton along the way.

Had a great experience working for them, they outline what is expected in an easy to achieve manner. They are also very passionate about the work they do

Working with Shabs B on this project was a great experience. One of the things I appreciated most was that whenever I got stuck, Shabs B was always there to help, providing guidance and solutions that kept the project moving forward. His support made a significant difference in overcoming challenges efficiently. He was proactive in addressing issues, ensuring tasks were completed on time while maintaining a high standard of work. His ability to collaborate, share insights, and adapt to project requirements played a key role in the project's success. I truly appreciate his dedication and support, and I look forward to the opportunity to work together again in the future.

Working with the company on this project has been a highly rewarding experience. I appreciated the opportunity to contribute to a real-world platform and apply my technical skills in a meaningful way. The team provided clear expectations, timely communication, and valuable feedback throughout the process, which helped me stay on track and feel supported. I particularly enjoyed the creative freedom to suggest and implement new features. The challenges I faced—especially with debugging, login flows, and cross-platform compatibility—helped me grow significantly as a developer. Overall, this project gave me practical experience in full-stack development, collaboration, and problem-solving under deadlines. I'm grateful for the opportunity and would be happy to work with the company again in the future.

I gained invaluable hands-on experience applying my knowledge to real-world applications, and I appreciated that Shabs recognized the value of my insights by providing constructive and good feedback.

Shabs is a very fun guy to work with, he is very fast with communications. He is also a good mentor and very knowledgeable in tech.

My experience with this project was not positive. I met with Sheb to understand the scope, and he asked me to lead, saying I had enough knowledge. I worked alone, which limited collaboration but was manageable. From the start, I clarified that there were two target populations: attendees and program organizers. He chose attendees and asked me to focus on sign-up, finding matches, and connecting with matches. I developed a usability test plan, conducted six interviews, and uncovered key insights, some issues were addressed immediately, like removing the confusing QR code. Midway, while I was coding the data, he pushed me to shift focus to event organizers, which required a new usability test, five more interviews, and additional analysis far beyond the 60-hour project scope. With Riipen’s support, I maintained my boundaries, despite his increasing pressure and poor treatment. He also demanded to see how I coded data, though I had already shared this with Ribbon, and it wasn’t part of my deliverables. At the end, I submitted a detailed usability test plan, a comprehensive report, and a PowerPoint presentation. When I called to offer a walkthrough, he hung up the phone on me, which was unacceptable. Overall, this was a difficult experience, but I’m grateful to Riipen for their guidance, and I learned valuable lessons about setting boundaries and handling challenging situations.

Working at Popin has been a valuable experience. The mentorship and regular check-ins have provided consistent guidance and support. I've seen a noticeable improvement in my marketing skills, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to grow in such a collaborative environment.

Excellent

Shabs and Frida were great to collaborate with! I've worked with them on a previous project and they were just as supportive and responsive as before.
