"My main project has been dealing with unengaged emails. I analyzed a list of close
to 800,000 emails in order to figure out who these people are and what exceptions
or excuses there may be for these donors not responding to any emails. After several
reports and analyses I worked on building the business requirements document for the
change to resolve this un-engagement issue."
Michael Hollister, undergraduate CrossBrowserTesting.com
"For my project I implemented Swagger.io with Crossbrowsertesting.com’s API in YAML
and produced SDK clients in Java, Ruby, Node.js/JavaScript, and Python, testing each
of these client SDKs in each language. The API clients will give customers easier
access to the API and overall create a better service experience for them and also
bring more customers to the business."
Cannon Moyer, undergraduate The Final Touch Security, LLC
"I was involved in new product development, web development, and software development.
One of the projects consisted of creating a web based ticketing system for one of
our customers. This ticketing system allowed better organization of their service
technicians."
Enyil Padilla Valle, undergraduate FedEx Services
"I had a great experience at my internship. I was treated as an equal within the company
and gained real work experience. My team and I developed a mobile application for
internal use. I was able to take the position of lead developer. The application’s
business value is to provide information executives need to be aware of the company’s
current status. The app was developed for Android/iOS and we presented it to over
50 people. Then, I was offered an Advance Internship over the spring to support, update,
and get the app ready for production. All this gave me the opportunity to develop
a real product, gain around 1 year of work experience, and get a job offer before
my graduation."

"I was involvedin gathering performance data for iSCSI target on a platform, porting
MSI-X SATA patch for next generation platform, and network virtualization pathfinding
POC."
Sandeep Ramesh, graduate FedEx Services
"I continued my work from the summer on VMs and cloud computing, managing the infrastructure
for FedEx's ROADS (Route and Decision Support Systems) application. I got trained
on technologies such as Linux, XML, and WebLogics."
Bobby Richmond, undergraduate International Paper
"My internship was with the Telecommunications department of International Paper,
and I mostly did database work. The section I worked with was in charge of a network
monitoring application with a web interface. We worked to combine the several original
servers into a single server as well as improving some customized queries for metrics.
I also assisted with basic switch configuration, and took a few of the related classes
offered by International Paper on Cisco devices."

"My team and I used AEM (Adobe Experience Manager) to turn FedEx.com into a platform
for customization. Customers and companies can customize the website according to
their own requirements."
Sri Annamreddi, graduate FedEx Services
"I used the Tableau software to automate a report generation process that used to
require manually pulling data from various sources. The person responsible for these
reports can now accomplish in 2 minutes what used to take 45 minutes."
Venkata Chikkala, graduate FedEx Services
"I completed 2 mobile apps that run on both Android and iOS devices, including tablets.
I also developed a RESTful web service to interact with the apps."
Austin Feldvebel, undergraduate ALSAC/St. Jude
"I performed analysis for an email hygiene project and wrote documentation for the
proposed automation process. I wrote SQL queries and built reports, and I was able
to participate in many St. Jude events on-site."
Ricky Graziosi, undergraduate AutoZone, Inc.
"I learned multiple distributions of Linux, learned basic and intermediate bash shell
scripting as well as basic Python web app programming, and aided in starting Security
Operation Center and acted as a SOC analyst. As an intern at AutoZone there are many
opportunities to explore in the IT department and the ones mentioned are just a small
sample."
Ted Parsons, undergraduate UT Health Science Center
"I worked on developing a video game targeted at junior high and high school students
to help them make healthy life choices. The game is an old-school platformer and runs
on mobile devices. Over the summer I was able to implement the layout and collision
data of levels 2-12, gameplay mechanics, and platforming engine, and laid the foundation
for the 43 enemy objects."
Sandeep Ramesh, graduate FedEx Services
"I got a great opportunity to be a part of the Infrastructure team at FedEx. I managed
the infrastructure for one of the biggest applications used at FedEx called ROADS,
which basically gives a shortest route to all the drivers who work at the hubs to
deliver the packages. I handled all infrastructure activities starting from assigning
the resources, building the application, and finally deploying it on a cluster of
virtual machines. I managed 3 clusters of VM's, each containing about 15 servers.
Along with this I was also assigned to be a part of the transition process that was
taking place to move the applications to the cloud."
Morgan Steffy, undergraduate Pickle
"Pickle is a new startup company in Memphis. I worked as a software engineer focusing
mainly on writing Objective-C. I helped restructure existing code to better fit the
MVVC pattern as well as build out new features including a share via Facebook option
and restructuring the navigation. My work was mainly focused on Objective-C, but I
also spent some time writing JavaScript functions for our database and PHP scripts
to use for internal webpages."
