This summer, the four of us explored diverse areas within the tech industry, from computer vision research and frontend development to AI model building, cloud engineering, security engineering, and API management. We applied our skills to impactful projects that improved user experiences, optimized system performance, and enhanced security for millions of users. Despite the challenges of adapting to new environments and technologies, we leveraged our problem-solving abilities, collaborative communication, and the liberal arts foundation we developed at Mount Holyoke. Our panel aims to discuss the technical and professional insights we gained, showcasing how our analytical and computational skills helped us succeed in various tech roles. Join us to hear about our experiences and how we used cutting-edge tools to solve real-world problems.
