In July 2017, SAP and Concur's Prague offices welcomed more than 20 new faces into SAP’s Internship Experience Project (SAP iXp). One of these interns was Alexandr Pak, a UX/UI Design intern working on the Concur Mobile team.

Alexandr hails from Kazakhstan and moved to Czech Republic to get his bachelor degree at Czech University of Life Sciences. This fall, he’ll start a master’s degree in Systems Engineering and Informatics. Within the first month of his SAP iXp internship, he’s already started working on safety-related features for Concur’s mobile applications.


Meet Alexandr:

What inspires me the most is that I have an opportunity to design safety-related features of the application, which means my designs are supposed to help people, and millions of users will see and work with what I’m going to create for them.
