While working at Cisco as a Full Stack Software Engineer I worked within the Incubation team at the Customer and Partner Experience branch. This was an extremely exciting and rewarding experience as I was able to be a part of innovation and creation as an intern. I developed an interface for customers and partners to be able to see, on a visual level, all the products that they have purchased and how they are connected. This website allows people to see all of their products and determine any redundancies. Determining these redundancies helps with the VP of Customer and Partner Experience's goal of reducing Cisco's carbon footprint by 2040.During these 12 weeks, I ensured all of our programs were easy to use and bug free. Using a keen eye, I developed software and tools in support of many of our high-impact technology platforms such as operating systems, networks, databases, and more. While we’re growing in the software business, I'll still need to see the big picture and watch for hardware compatibility while even potentially influencing design. I played a crucial role in driving next-gen software innovations including cloud, mobile, desktop, and security spaces. On these teams I get hands-on experience working with applications that make technology accessible no matter what device they’re on. See the possibilities when creativity meets design and build solutions that will transform how Cisco works, lives, learns, and plays.
