Software Engineering Intern

May 2019 • Boston, MA

What I liked

I had a great experience interning at Spiro. From my very first week, I was contributing to code that was going into production. I had as much autonomy in my project as I wanted, as well as a knowledgable and supportive mentor. I spent the summer working with cutting edge technologies in machine learning and natural language processing. My position was the perfect mix of research-oriented exploration and industry-level application. I enjoyed the relaxed, friendly environment and benefited from the company of my fun, supportive colleagues. I could not imagine a better and more fulfilling internship experience.

What I wish was different

Advice

I benefited most from an open and frequent dialog with my mentor. Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions. I probably learned more life-long programming skills from my mentor than I did from any one CS class I have taken.
