Advice

Interning at your own university is something that I think most people don't take advantage of enough. You have a ready made network and you get to build on skills you learn in the classroom to give back to your campus community.

iOS App Developer

May - August 2018 • Syracuse, NY

What I liked

I worked and learned with a team for continued development of an app with server and database integration. I was able to learn while contributing to an useful product. Weekly meetings with supervising professor were helpful and kept goals clear. Fairly relaxed schedule. I arrived on campus ~8AM, at the lab ~10AM, and left ~3-5PM.

What I wish was different

Due to coworkers being students, sometimes it would take a while to receive a clear response. I am personally guilty of this a few times. Communication improved by the end though.
