UW CS Alum | Prev IT SWE Intern @ Nintendo
Today, I'm closing a chapter I’ll never forget: my internship at Nintendo. This summer, I had the amazing opportunity to join as an IT Software Engineering intern, where I collaborated with talented engineers and grew tremendously as a developer. Beyond the technical growth, I had the privilege of meeting the most thoughtful people, create countless memories (and yes, spending way too much at the Nintendo store), and contribute to a project that supports Nintendo's mission of creating smiles! I'm especially grateful to my mentor, Evan Greco, and my manager, Ramona F., MBA, PMP, for their guidance and encouragement, and to my phenomenal team for making me feel welcome and uplifted from day one. A big thank you to my fellow interns for making this summer both fun and unforgettable. And, of course, to the incredible recruiting team, Anousinh Siharath, Lidia Hernandez, and Maricela Diaz, whose support made this whole experience possible! As I wrap up my internship, I'm excited to see where this next chapter takes me! I’m eager to put what I’ve learned into practice and grow even more. I'm currently seeking full-time software engineering opportunities where I can continue learning and work alongside passionate engineers.
