How I pay for hosting fees & sandwiches
Super cool company making the first year-long CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor). I get the privilege of working on the Algorithm team, we convert sensor data into like an actual glucose number.
I'm having a blast getting to actually deploy our algorithm across our firmware, mobile app, and backend. When you're ready to track your glucose check us out!
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face" - Mike Tyson. Similarly, everyone knows how to ship until they see scale, and Target had scale.
Retail giant, I got to intern on the backend for the stores team - mainly streamlining our returns process. I even got to add a screen to our registers! Turns out a rest API and react UI is a lot harder when you're not deploying on localhost.
Hanging out in Minneapolis was definitely the highlight of my summer, even though I lost a dollar in our mock self-checkout machine.
I also interned there the previous summer, working on the Data Engineering team was my first non-college work. Was super fun, I got to build monitoring and data validation systems for our payment data pipelines. Definitely a step up from just using print statements like I was used to.
I got to work with Hadoop, Spark, and loved functional programming in Scala (I'm a big fan of Haskell).
