+The main deliverable of this internship is the ProteusToolbox application. This store and launcher for python application was initially designed primarily for flying engineers. These engineers works on site and are responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of hospital machinery. They rely on several Python applications to automate certain tasks. Before the development of ProteusToolbox, each application had to be installed individually, which posed a significant challenge, as installing Python applications can be complex. This was especially burdensome for engineers who often work on hospital computers, requiring them to repeat installations at each new site.
+
+This need led to the creation of ProteusToolbox, a store that simplifies the installation of a predefined list of Python applications by proposing a graphical interface. Espetially knowing that the users aren't necessarily familiar with terminal commands.
+
+However, the first version of ProteusToolbox is limited by a fixed version of Python and locked dependencies, which can constrain other applications that may require different versions.
+
+The goal of this internship deliverable is thus an enhanced version of ProteusToolbox, where each application has its own dedicated Python environment, removing restrictions related to Python versions and dependencies.
+
+In parallel with the application, the goal was also to automate several processes to enhance usability and streamline updates, including:
+
+- **Simplified Installation**: Providing a Windows installer for easy setup of ProteusToolbox.
+- **Automated Development Processes**:
+    - Automating the testing of the application to ensure consistent functionality and quality.
+    - Setting up automatic deployment for seamless updates.
+    - Streamlining the publication process for new applications within ProteusToolbox.
+
+These enhancements aim to improve the overall user experience and reduce the manual workload for engineers.

-The internship involves improving an application developed by the client. This Python application is used to download, install and launch a number of other applications used on site for the maintenance or testing of IBA equipment. Currently, the launcher imposes an old version of Python as well as a version of dependencies on the other applications. The aim is to make it more adaptive.

+During my internship, my primary focus was enhancing a single application, which became the main deliverable with a set deadline. My objective was to deliver a fully functional application that met all specified requirements. After the initial week or two, I had the opportunity to dive into the online documentation. At first glance, I felt confident that I could complete the application relatively quickly.
+Indeed, after two weeks, I began running small implementation tests with some solutions I had identified for the problem. These initial tests brought me quite far, which led me to believe I might be able to complete the work ahead of schedule.
 
+However, I didn’t anticipate having to revise the application’s architecture multiple times, or spending significant time on additional components that extended beyond the main project. Additionally, the required features evolved considerably throughout the internship, which added unexpected complexity to the work.
+
+Even in the final week, my supervisor decided to add one last change. This led me to keep working on the application and its documentation until the very last moment of my internship.
+
+In the end, I believe I delivered a product that is thorough, functional, and detailed enough for others to use and continue improving.
