Here at Tresata we’re pretty positive we’ve got the best interns around. Tresata interns may be temporary, but they’re a part of our team and we work them accordingly. They get their hands dirty with live real-world projects and work side-by-side with our permanent team members. Our “Intern Update” series will introduce you to this ambitious bunch and what they’ve been working on this summer…

School: UNC Chapel Hill
Year: 2015

What motivated you to intern at Tresata this summer?

I wanted to work in tech  to hopefully utilize some of the skills I have gained as a math major. Tresata was the perfect fit; having a quantitative background was beneficial, but not required in order to succeed/ maximize the experience. The best thing about this internship was the opportunity to learn and develop real marketable skills.

Tell us which projects you’ve been working on…

I have been working on documentation for Tresata products Que/ ORION. This includes writing queries in Que to demo NET’s potential.

What technologies are you using in your work?

Tresata products Que, ORION and NET and Excel

Beyond the work, what’s your favorite thing about this internship?

The environment and the people have made working here productive and fun!

Do you think this internship was a valuable learning experience? How has it equipped you for further study/work?

YES. We have been able to do real work and contribute to Tresata’s ongoing projects. Working here has given me a better idea of what I want to do after graduation. (aka this)
