This task gave me hands-on practice setting up a real-world React development environment and working with a production design system (Backpack). I especially valued troubleshooting the setup issues that came up along the way — it taught me a lot about npm, build tools, and debugging dependency conflicts, skills that go beyond just writing React code.

I liked that the simulation gave me hands-on experience with front-end development rather than only theoretical questions. Building a React web application helped me understand how front-end tasks are approached in a real-world software engineering environment. The tasks were practical and gave me an opportunity to improve my React and web development skills

As a front-end developer already working with React, I found this program very interesting because it reflected real-world development practices used in tech companies. I particularly appreciated discovering how Skyscanner integrates its Backpack design system to keep interfaces consistent and reusable. It was a simple yet well-designed project that aligns closely with professional workflows.
