March 2024 WIL Student – Dinesh
We are very lucky to have Dinesh with us right now, who is studying for a Master of Information Technology (Professional) at Deakin University. Dinesh comes to us as an experienced Quality Engineer. Combining his previous work experience with the knowledge he has gained in pursuing his Master’s, Dinesh will be of immense assistance in testing new features in Allocate Plus. Even with his background, Dinesh sees his time here at JDR Software as a great opportunity to enhance his testing skills and experience. By choosing to study a Master of Information Technology Dinesh is working towards moving into the Data Engineering space in his career.
In addition to honing his technical skills, the WIL program at JDR is giving Dinesh his first experience of the Australian workplace culture. He admires the work environment and testing process here. He has been particularly taken by the friendly competitions and social activities that are taking place. Whether that’s a friendly game of chess between colleagues or the monthly Birthday celebrations. All of which contribute to an engaging environment and allow for a bit of stress relief.

March 2024 WIL Student – Pravindu
Pravindu is currently in his final year of a Software Engineering degree at Deakin University. Joining JDR Software with the Work Integrated Learning (WIL) program, Pravindu hopes to gain a better understanding and experience regarding how the software industry tests new products. In addition, he’s also keen to take this opportunity to immerse himself in the general work environment and learn more about the Software Development industry.
In his downtime, Pravindu enjoys drawing portraits and characters. So it’s understandable that post-graduation, Pravindu is hoping to take his technical skills and experience, and combine that with his interest in illustration to pursue a career in Games Design/Development.
The JDR Software team wish Dinesh and Pravindu every success during their March 2024 WIL placement here with us.
We regularly offer WIL positions to high-achieving, enthusiastic, motivated students in their final year of study. Keep an eye on our news stories to see who we have joining us next.
