Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:
I have had the opportunity to work on impactful projects that sit at the intersection of healthcare and technology. My day-to-day responsibilities involve conducting both technical and business analysis on EDI claims and risk segmentation models to support more accurate healthcare cost forecasting. I regularly build and maintain automated ETL pipelines using Python and SQL to streamline data preparation, enabling efficient integration with Databricks workflows. I also design interactive dashboards using Power BI to help cross-functional teams make informed decisions based on real-time data insights. One of the most exciting aspects of my role has been deploying scalable, machine learning–driven insights dashboards on AWS EC2, integrating Spring Boot APIs with Python-based ML modules to enhance system interoperability and analytics capabilities. Additionally, I participate in Agile sprints, manage JIRA tasks, contribute to Confluence documentation, and present findings to both technical and business stakeholders. Recently, I've also been exploring the use of large language models (LLMs) and generative AI for automating member summary reports as part of a proof of concept, opening doors for future AI-driven solutions in healthcare reporting
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I learned about the Intern position at Trulogik during a career fair hosted by UMBC, where I had the chance to interact directly with company representatives and learn more about their work in healthcare technology. After the event, I followed up by tailoring my resume and submitting my application. The UMBC Career Center played a key role in helping me prepare for this opportunity—they provided valuable feedback during a resume review session, which helped me present my technical skills and project experience more effectively. I submitted my application shortly after the career fair in early August 2024, and was later contacted for interviews that led to this exciting internship opportunity.

What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
My advice to another student seeking an internship or similar experience is to start early and be proactive—attend career fairs, info sessions, and networking events, even if you're not actively job hunting yet. These events not only expose you to opportunities but also help you practice communicating your skills. Make full use of the UMBC Career Center for resume reviews and mock interviews—they can significantly improve how you present yourself. Don't be discouraged if you don't meet every single requirement in a job posting; instead, focus on showcasing your willingness to learn, adaptability, and problem-solving skills. Finally, work on personal or class projects and include them in your resume and LinkedIn—they show initiative and real-world application of your skills.
