Yesterday was my last day at Red Hat (for now). It was a wonderful 2.5 months and a brand new experience for me, and I’m quite sad it all ended so soon. New things await me - my second year at Matfyz starts in less than a week.

First of all, I want to thank Geoffrey for contacting me in the spring about such a position being opened, and for all the support, feedback, criticism, ideas and concepts he shared with me.

Second, my manager, Shelly for hiring me in the first place, and for her support during the whole course of my internship. I have to mention Petr for helping me with my first days at Red Hat and for all technical and non-technical help during my stay.

Lastly, I can’t forget the whole KIE Group

• the developement team and the QE team - which I sat next to in the Brno office. More specifically, thanks to all contributors of OptaPlanner.

Thank you Red Hat for being such an awesome company. Let’s see what next year has in store for me!

P.P.S.: Here is a lengthy report, of what I actually did during my internship!
