    “Melanie worked on the Location Component State (LoCoS) team at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory during the summer of 2019 as our computing intern. Based on her experience with REACTjs we decided she was a good fit for our upcoming project. She was tasked with refactoring our legacy system to use a new technology stack. She replaced our existing Struts framework with Reactjs with a Web Services backend. While she had minimum exposure to some of the newer technologies, she diligently researched best practices and successfully upgraded our application. She was able to quickly learn and build on her expertise and it showed in her final product. Both users and management were delighted with her results. She ultimately helped lay the foundation for future changes to our suite of applications and we anticipate her return during the summer of 2020. ”
