# Internship Final Showcase — [Intern Name]

## 1. Capstone Project Overview & Live Demo
- **Project Problem:** Users needed an open format to export meeting transcripts with accurate speaker attribution for video editing workflows.
- **Delivered Solution:** Shipped an on-device WebVTT and SubRip (.srt) subtitle exporter within the macOS desktop client.
- **Technical Scope:** Written in TypeScript with 100% unit test coverage; executed in under 20ms across 60-minute meeting transcripts.

## 2. Technical Evaluation & Craftsmanship
- **Code Quality:** The pull request passed peer review with zero blocking issues; code follows our strict brand-free architecture standards.
- **Testing Hygiene:** Wrote 14 comprehensive test fixtures covering multi-speaker cues, timestamp edge cases, and subtitle wrap breaks.
- **Independence:** Over the 12-week program, evolved from requiring daily pairing to independently designing component interfaces.
