Internship Management (Managing a student internship while working at Microsoft in 2019):


Managed an Internship for a Bellevue College Student while working at Microsoft: The student internship I tutored (was based on satisfying the professor’s criteria in conjunction with an FPGA project to satisfy a need for a Microsoft contractor and for that reason the internship that I managed was divided into two parts. The two parts were based on a succession of steps divided into an allotment of time progressions.

(1) The Professor’s criteria were based on an advanced C Sharp (C#) class:


1. Created a data warehouse database structure that connects to the project for storing the information on the project and output being display.


2. Displayed quick sort, bubble sort, array sort, List sort and explain the differences, including the advantages and disadvantages. Note that array sort is only based on reference.


3. Used functionality for stacks, heaps, lists and explain the differences.


4. Completed File System Operations (FSO) to write out in a text file and read back to the console.


5. Built interface signatures using inheritance, polymorphic behavior, abstract behavior concepts, including using delegates. To make it more interesting, we used a class library on instances to encrypt the data connections.


(2) The contracting company internship for this student that I managed was base on an FPGA project with a vast algorithm (millions of rows) to show graphical output with parallel processing:


1. Designed and built a data warehouse with data mart structure that allows Artificial Intelligence (AI) near the processor with very fast precise speeds that have virtually no loads.


2. Showed various parts of the graphical data being streamed on each part of the algorithm and save the information directly to the data warehouse.


3. Use error control to display output errors and monitor variations of changes of the logic.


4. Graphed findings based on outputs, speed in nano-seconds with volumes (algorithmic millions of rows) of data through put for analyzing the results.

Please Don't use my material to cheat! This is only for those who want to know and understand the concepts of what I have been through to help student's and other's to grow in life.

Each and every concept that I have been through is based on of what I have accomplished through hard work and I believe in giving back to the community!

I don't believe in plagiarism! This is all my own work! My struggle through this in learning, means I learned it well! My word of advice is to be humble, listen more, have patience, be professional, truly honest, stay positive, grateful, and always keep learning! Admittedly, I admire many of the Professor's in college that pushed me hard through out my educational experiences.

"Christopher completed his contract at Microsoft successfully. I remember when Chris joined my team, He detected performance issues with Kusto and SQL databases and changed the entire infrastructure. Chris is expert DAX and and .NET programmer. He submitted every task on time in the fast based work environment. During over one year period from 05/2018 to 7/2019, Chris took on various roles and responsibilities. He was quick to complete tasks and excelled at pretty much everything that was thrown at him. In fact, he was one of our most productive team members that our organization has employed in those couple of years. Chris has always exhibited all the qualities that are necessary in every employee in today’s highly competitive marketplace. I must especially highlight his qualities of speed and accuracy and his ability to work under high pressure or in demanding circumstances. Every now and then we would hear staff members say,” Oh, Chris has handled that already!” In a very short span of time, he was able to work independently without any close supervision and was always known to follow directions thoroughly and accurately. He was also adept at multi tasking and was working on numerous projects and assignments simultaneously.

Chris always displayed an upbeat, energetic and an optimistic attitude that made his fun to be around with. He displayed exceptional communication skills and was able to interface effectively with other members of staff and our clients.

Hence I give my strongest recommendation for any role that needs planning, communication, and intelligence. Do feel free to contact me if you need any more information or perspective.
Sincerely,"
