Name: Aayush Jannumahanti
Pronouns: He/Him/His
Semester of Internship: Summer 2023
Major: Computer Science
Current Class Level: Master's Student
This semester I completed a(n)...: Internship
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site (Company/Organization Name): Google Summer Of Code
Location of the Organization (City, State): Cleveland, Ohio
Title of position: GSoC Developer
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:
Google Summer of Code is a globally recognized platform for mature programmers to come and showcase their skills. Google Summer of Code is an opportunity for a coder to take responsibility for a project, design it, learn what needs to be done, and create a working, documented pipeline that delivers a useful product. My favorite part of participating in GSoC was the opportunity to work on a real-world project with a supportive community and mentors. It provided me with valuable hands-on experience. The most challenging part of participating in GSoC was managing time effectively to meet project deadlines while ensuring the quality of the work. Balancing the workload with other commitments was a learning experience.
I was involved in making an Audio Tagging system for Red Hen Lab Inc. I wrote scripts which took a video file from Gallina (Case Western Reserve University's High Performance Compute Facility). The Input had a VRT file, a video file. The Process: From VRT file create ""segments.txt"". This txt file has sentences with relevant information . I'd crop the audio-file (extracted from videofile) according to start and end of sentence and store them in ""audiofiles"" folder. Later on, created 'samples.json' where each line has values from three keys: audiofilepath, text, duration. The Output was a segments.txt Folder with audiofiles samples.json
Used these samples.json in an End-to-End Automatic Speech Recognition (E2E ASR) by NVIDIA NeMo which is a conversational AI toolkit built for researchers working on automatic speech recognition (ASR), text-to-speech synthesis (TTS), large language models (LLMs), and natural language processing (NLP). The Audio Tagging software was used for Tagging/Transcribe events in Audio/Video segments.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
It clicked to my mind while applying for internships, that there are several open-source high paying internships as well like GSoC, Google Season of Doc, MLH Fellowships, Microsoft Reinforcement Learning Open-Source fest and several others. I then started drafting a proposal and it took me about two weeks to write each proposal. I wrote about three proposals for different organizations that were OpenCV, Red Hen Labs and JDE Robot. All these proposals were well curated with a meticulous timeline and a high-level and low-level system design of my project for the summer. I submitted all the proposals on April 4th 2023 and received my acceptance email and offer letter on May 4th 2023. After submitting my proposal, I waited anxiously for the result. When I received the acceptance email, I felt a wave of excitement and a sense of responsibility. I was given the opportunity to work on a project that could make an impact in the community, and I was determined to make the most of it.
What resources did you use to find your current experience?
UMBC Career Center, LinkedIn or other social media
What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?
In summary, GSoC played a pivotal role in expanding my programming skills, particularly in the areas of NLP, conversation design, speech processing, research, and linguistics. This newfound knowledge and practical experience have equipped me with a diverse skill set that I can apply to a wide range of projects and domains in the future.
Red Hen is a house to several great products, resources and world-class mentors. Their Principal leaders excel at what they do! I am elated to have worked under their guidance and support. Mentors at Red Hen were versatile software architects, scientists and it was fun to learn from such great mentors. Their guidance and support is invaluable to me in my career. They had conducted several weekly sync-up meetings to advance the project, which was very helpful.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
GSoC significantly enhanced my programming skills by providing me with the opportunity to delve deeper into the field of linguistics, which was a valuable addition to my existing knowledge in speech and text processing. Throughout the program, I gained extensive experience in various aspects of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and linguistics, which included working with XML, conducting research, and applying linguistic knowledge in practical applications.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
Communication, compassion, and diligence are the keys to success in any internship or job role. Individuals should be diligent, demonstrate an increase in their attention, energy, and productivity, and engage frequently on platforms like Slack/Gmail/Teams.
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
I was really lucky to be engaged and monitored by seasoned professionals from the industry and academia. Their supervision on hands-on problem solving is second to none. This type of mentorship was really necessary for me to become a seasoned professional.

Major: Computer Science
Current Class Level: Master’s Student
This semester I completed a(n)...: Internship
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site (Company/Organization Name): Ardent Privacy
Location of the Organization (City, State): Baltimore, Maryland
Title of position: Fullstack Developer
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:
I am currently serving as a Fullstack Developer, actively collaborating with the CEO and the core technical team on the development of a critical Data Privacy Assessment Module. In this role, my responsibilities spanned database design, API development, and the deployment of the application on AWS. A significant focus of my work has been on the backend system, where I designed and implemented GraphQL-based Restful APIs, leveraging JWT tokens for authentication and implementing role-based authorization. Additionally, I contributed to the Angular Framework for the frontend, seamlessly integrating it with the developed APIs.
This internship has provided me with a comprehensive experience as a full-stack developer, allowing me to engage in the entire application development lifecycle – from design to testing and deployment. The company culture is excellent.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I first became aware of the opportunity for my current position during the summer of 2023. Upon learning about it, I promptly submitted my application through the Handshake platform. Following that, I underwent a rigorous selection process consisting of four rounds of interviews. These included a preliminary telephonic interview, an online technical assessment, an in-person coding evaluation, and culminated in a final discussion with the CEO. Subsequently, I commenced my role at Ardent Privacy in August 2023, where I have been actively contributing since.
What resources did you use to find your current experience?
Handshake
What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?
One aspect of my role as a Fullstack developer at Ardent Privacy that I particularly cherish is the chance to build digital solutions to address contemporary challenges. At Ardent Privacy, I've been fortunate to be involved in every facet of the product development journey – from the initial brainstorming sessions where ideas are conceived, to the meticulous design and development phases, all the way through to the final deployment. This holistic involvement not only enables me to see the direct impact of my contributions but also fosters a sense of ownership and fulfillment as I witness our solutions come to life.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
My dedication to excellence and innovation has led to streamlined processes, improved efficiency, and enhanced user experiences, contributing positively to both project outcomes and organizational goals.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
When pursuing an internship or similar opportunity, I would advise fellow students to avoid simply applying to any available position. Instead, carefully assess whether your skills and experiences align with the requirements of the role. Focus on seeking out opportunities where you can genuinely contribute and add value. By taking this approach, you not only increase your chances of securing a meaningful and fulfilling experience but also ensure that you make the most of the opportunity to learn and grow in your chosen field.
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
The Career Center has been an essential resource for me since 2022, even before I arrived in the USA from India. Their resume reviews and guidance were instrumental in securing a graduate assistantship prior to my arrival. Their support has been integral to refining my resume and preparing me for the industry, ensuring I'm well-equipped for success.

Intern of the Week: Adrien Baumert
Check out Adrien's internship!
Name: Adrien Baumert
Pronouns: He/Him
Semester of Internship: Summer 2023
Major: Computer Science
Current Class Level: Sophomore
This semester I completed a(n)...: Internship
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site (Company/Organization Name): Johns Hopkins University
Location of the Organization (City, State): Baltimore, MD
Title of position: Software Engineering Intern
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:
I work on a healthcare provider centric web application. We provide tools which interface with the Epic healthcare provider database. Day-to-day I work on anything from bug fixes to new features. Recently, I completed a user feedback form which completed the development life cycle and was pushed to production. I am currently wrapping up a dynamic menu system which displays tools based on user permissions. Along with writing code, I typically meet/chat with manager/coworker as needed about tasks. I also participated in a daily scrum where all team members discuss the tasks they completed for the day.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I found the position through a Google Jobs listing. I heard/submitted my application Spring 2022. I interviewed shortly thereafter. Hopkins was very transparent and my manager was extremely helpful throughout the process.
What resources did you use to find your current experience?
LinkedIn or other social media
What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?
The most enjoyable part of my position/organization are the wonderful team, flexible hours, and impact of my development. My manager and coworkers are all extremely kind and always there if I need help. Along with this my hours are flexible enough where, when extended an offer to extend my internship into the school year, I was able to excitedly accept. I also feel that there is a positive impact of my work given that it is directly improving the lives of healthcare professionals.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
Apply to positions as early into your academic career as possible. I interviewed during freshman year and interned the summer after. I know how stressful it is to get the ball rolling but can also personally attest to how rewarding/beneficial it was.
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
The experience I have gained is invaluable and I have nothing but thanks to my manager as well as Hopkins for the opportunity!

Intern of the Week: Ethan Cheung
Check out Ethan's internship!
Name: Ethan Cheung
Pronouns: He/Him
Semester of Internship: Summer 2023
Major: Computer Science
Current Class Level: Junior
This semester I completed a(n)...: Research experience
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site (Company/Organization Name): Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory
Location of the Organization (City, State): Fulton, MD
Title of position: Software Engineering/Research Intern
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:
Under the Cohort-based Integrated Research Community for Undergraduate Innovation and Trailblazing (CIRCUIT) Program at JHU APL, I had the opportunity to learn about and develop image processing software with my team (shoutout Icram and Amaiyah!) for cameras on the Lunar Vertex Lander for the Lunar Vertex Mission, which launches in 2024. This semester, we're also working on image projection and mapping on digital terrain models.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I heard about the CIRCUIT Program around October 2022 and applied to the CIRCUIT Program at JHU APL around January 2023.
What resources did you use to find your current experience?
Friend Referral
What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?
I enjoyed having the opportunity to contribute work to the Lunar Vertex Mission! Being able to work on a real-life problem/mission was super cool and an amazing opportunity to gain insight on software engineering processes. APL is also full of talented, amazing, and supportive people!
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
The features that my team and I worked on will be implemented into the app that we worked on as a new update. The space community doesn't have a tool with the features we're working on yet, so it's great knowing what we've built will be used by someone else!
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
Don't be afraid to ask for help; use all the resources that you have! Transitioning from an academic to research environment is tough. Research is difficult, so you or your mentor won't know exactly what to expect, but that's normal! You might be one of the first people to research your specific topic, so it's okay to feel unsure of your research processes.
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
Earning academic credit is helpful since I get to fulfill one of my major requirements!
