We’re so proud of our summer interns! 🎉 They’ve achieved so much through our immersive internship program, and we can’t wait to see what they do next.
Last Friday, my summer as a Software Development Engineer Intern at Audible came to an end. I'm so grateful for this experience and the wonderful people I had the opportunity to work with. Over the past 12 weeks, I was privileged to be part of the Edison-Rock team, developing an integration testing library for AWS SQS listener services. I onboarded 2 of Audible’s services to the library, and in doing so, I advanced a pipeline to full CI/CD. In this project, I learned so much about backend services and infrastructure, and I have so many people to thank. I am incredibly grateful to my managers Adish Agarwal and Nishanthi Ravichandran, my senior manager Mohan (Padu) Padmanabhan, and my mentor Aayushi Nirmal for their guidance, support, and for pushing me to grow. A huge thank you as well to the fantastic Audible recruiting team including Kate Byrnes, Nicole Lopez, and Aviv Wecler for making this opportunity possible. To everyone else on Rock and the other teams I worked with at Audible - thank you for welcoming me and helping me have such a rewarding internship experience. I'm inspired by the work you do and the impact you make, and I look forward to staying connected.
