MSSM, 2027

This is how to say my name:

 

Why MSSM?

The MSSM program stood out for its industry oriented curriculum, providing an opportunity to transition straight from a computer science background to a more well rounded contributor. The included internship period was a major deciding factor that embodied this focus, and the program was clearly designed to have this period complement the coursework.

Education

Wake Forest University - BS in Computer Science

Experience

Vestmark - Software Engineering Intern

What career achievement are you most proud of?

Developing my honors thesis to embody the research I participated in while in undergrad. This was a perfect way to produce a tangible product that simultaneously allowed me to take creative liberties.

What type of role are you looking to obtain after you graduate?

TPM roles in either big tech or the startup space. I hope to remain technical and apply my background to large-scale solutions alongside ambitious peers.
