Clarity Partners’ Post

🤔At an intern event this week, Candice Scarborough asked my team and me a question I hadn’t previously reflected on: What is surprising about interning? Here’s what we came up with: 👩🏽💻🧑🏻💻👨🏾💻It’s more collaborative than we thought. When I thought about software engineering, I pictured working alone without much interaction with my coworkers. In actuality, there’s a lot of communication with my team about our tickets and how they fit together to create the larger project. 🧐📚There’s a lot of research required along with coding. We’re using languages and tools that are completely new to us, so we’re reading a lot of documentation and reaching out to teams across the company to learn how to use some tools. I previously thought that the job was very code-heavy, but so far, it’s been a split between researching and programming! 😌🧘🏽♀️We can stop thinking about work after 5. At school, you’re not done after your classes. You have homework, projects, work, and extracurriculars to worry about. But on the job, there’s a good work-life balance! ⬇️Another intern event this week!

Happy Friday! 🎉 We truly have the most fascinating people at LCP Media. One of my favorite things to learn about someone is WHY they do what they do - Nick's story is nothing short of inspiring. His journey to loving software engineering started as a kid, inspired by his father and grandfather, who had computers in their office. He loved exploring the internet, playing video games, and got interested in learning code. By middle school, he was already building websites! Nick also speaks multiple languages and started learning Polish during his internship with us. Did you know that about half of LCP Media is in Poland? (I still geek out when I have international calls; I am just a small-town girl from Texas—like, how AWESOME!) But my FAVORITE part of Nick's story is he chose to come back to us full-time after graduating from the University of Chicago, which goes to show how great our team is at LCP Media. We are lucky to have him! 👏 Reflecting on Nick's journey made me think about my path to LCP Media as the Marketing Director - As a young girl, I loved making things *look pretty* —if I colored outside the lines in a coloring book, I would literally throw it in the trash! Visually, I’m a bit of a perfectionist. My band-aids had to match my outfits (lol). I loved storytelling and decorating. In middle school, I would spend HOURS redesigning my MySpace profile. I still remember the exact day I got a Facebook account in 9th grade; I loved creating photo albums and sharing my life. I was the girl in my sorority with a GoPro documenting everything! Social media, photography, and videography have ALWAYS been my passions - It's no wonder I do what I do! 🤩 How lucky are we to have the opportunity to do what we love? I challenge you to think about your journey. What were your passions growing up—do they align with what you do now? Share in the comments! ⬇️

🚀 Update from my pinnacle full stack internship! 🚀 I'm excited to share that I've completed task 3 of the pinnacle full stack interns program! 🎉 For this task, I worked on **heart disease prediction**. The challenge involved analyzing medical data, developing a predictive model, and optimizing it to accurately identify the risk of heart disease. Key learnings: - Importance of data preprocessing and normalization. - Hands-on experience with classification algorithms. - Techniques for model evaluation and improvement. #internship #fullstackdevelopment #machinelearning #heartdiseaseprediction #techinnovation #learningjourney #pfsinterns #pinnaclefullstackinterns

We created a video of our two summer interns, Xin-Yi Pan, who is attending Stanford University and Caroline Humphreys, who is attending University of Arizona. They shared their experiences, future endeavors, and more. Watch the video below! #Synopsys #Interns

As my internship semester approaches, here’s a summary of my journey and experiences in software engineering as an undergrad at SWE,SUST.

Your 20s are the best way to try, fail, achieve and experiment. The #US #market is in #shambles and well, we still managed to get internships. Well, here's something that I've wanted to do for a really long time. Listen to this insightful podcast from me, with UTKARSH NANDA and Minal Kyada, Interns at Argonne National Laboratory and Intel Corporation. We are Graduate Students in Computer Science at Illinois Institute of Technology. https://lnkd.in/gQxtJPwn

🚀 Update from My Pinnacle Full Stack Internship! 🚀 I'm excited to share that I've completed Task 2 of the Pinnacle Full Stack Interns program! 🎉 This time, I tackled **Credit Card Fraud Detection**. The challenge involved analyzing transaction data, developing a robust machine learning model, and optimizing it to detect fraudulent activities with high accuracy. Key Learnings: - Importance of data preprocessing and feature selection. - Hands-on experience with anomaly detection algorithms. - Strategies for handling imbalanced datasets. Looking forward to the next challenge! Stay tuned! 🚀 #Internship #FullStackDevelopment #MachineLearning #FraudDetection #TechInnovation #LearningJourney #pfsinterns #pinnaclefullstackinterns
