Last Thursday, the stars must have aligned in my favor, granting me an amazing opportunity to connect with recruiters and software engineers from Capital One.
I really want to thank Claire Jacyshyn for answering all of my insightful questions about Capital One, giving advice about the interview process, and being a friendly face to talk to throughout the event, Nikhil Pilli for giving me tips on my resume and going in depth with how Capital One uses tech such as AWS cloud platform and machine learning to detect and prevent fraud in real time. I want to thank Charlie Hobson for telling me how to excel as an Engineer and giving me advice on what to do as a CS major, Adam Conybear for sharing with me his time at UF and what he did to secure internships at Capital, and lastly Kennedy Whitehead for telling me about her experience working at Capital One and how life at Capital One is.
I learned that Capital One operates on a level of innovation and customer-centricity that sets them apart in the financial industry. What I like most is how much Capital One values their employee's growth. They offer a wide variety of training programs to incoming software engineers and make sure they have the tools they need to succeed. It's also cool how Capital One has, "Invest in Yourself Days" for associates to learn new a skill, hang out with families/friends, or focus on their health. Thank you all so much for coming to University of Florida to inform us about Capital One's operations and contributions in the financial sector. 🚀 🚀 🚀
Special thanks to ColorStack UFlorida for making everything possible and organizing this amazing event with Capital One. I'm a big advocate of giving back to the community and you guys never disappoint. Super exited to attend more events like these.
