Intern of the Week: Aayush Jannumahanti
Check out Aayush's internship!
Name: Aayush Jannumahanti
Pronouns: He/Him/His
Semester of Internship: Summer 2023
Major: Computer Science
Current Class Level: Master's Student
This semester I completed a(n)...: Internship
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site (Company/Organization Name): Google Summer Of Code
Location of the Organization (City, State): Cleveland, Ohio
Title of position: GSoC Developer
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:
Google Summer of Code is a globally recognized platform for mature programmers to come and showcase their skills. Google Summer of Code is an opportunity for a coder to take responsibility for a project, design it, learn what needs to be done, and create a working, documented pipeline that delivers a useful product. My favorite part of participating in GSoC was the opportunity to work on a real-world project with a supportive community and mentors. It provided me with valuable hands-on experience. The most challenging part of participating in GSoC was managing time effectively to meet project deadlines while ensuring the quality of the work. Balancing the workload with other commitments was a learning experience.
I was involved in making an Audio Tagging system for Red Hen Lab Inc. I wrote scripts which took a video file from Gallina (Case Western Reserve University's High Performance Compute Facility). The Input had a VRT file, a video file. The Process: From VRT file create ""segments.txt"". This txt file has sentences with relevant information . I'd crop the audio-file (extracted from videofile) according to start and end of sentence and store them in ""audiofiles"" folder. Later on, created 'samples.json' where each line has values from three keys: audiofilepath, text, duration. The Output was a segments.txt Folder with audiofiles samples.json
Used these samples.json in an End-to-End Automatic Speech Recognition (E2E ASR) by NVIDIA NeMo which is a conversational AI toolkit built for researchers working on automatic speech recognition (ASR), text-to-speech synthesis (TTS), large language models (LLMs), and natural language processing (NLP). The Audio Tagging software was used for Tagging/Transcribe events in Audio/Video segments.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
It clicked to my mind while applying for internships, that there are several open-source high paying internships as well like GSoC, Google Season of Doc, MLH Fellowships, Microsoft Reinforcement Learning Open-Source fest and several others. I then started drafting a proposal and it took me about two weeks to write each proposal. I wrote about three proposals for different organizations that were OpenCV, Red Hen Labs and JDE Robot. All these proposals were well curated with a meticulous timeline and a high-level and low-level system design of my project for the summer. I submitted all the proposals on April 4th 2023 and received my acceptance email and offer letter on May 4th 2023. After submitting my proposal, I waited anxiously for the result. When I received the acceptance email, I felt a wave of excitement and a sense of responsibility. I was given the opportunity to work on a project that could make an impact in the community, and I was determined to make the most of it.
What resources did you use to find your current experience?
UMBC Career Center, LinkedIn or other social media
What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?
In summary, GSoC played a pivotal role in expanding my programming skills, particularly in the areas of NLP, conversation design, speech processing, research, and linguistics. This newfound knowledge and practical experience have equipped me with a diverse skill set that I can apply to a wide range of projects and domains in the future.
Red Hen is a house to several great products, resources and world-class mentors. Their Principal leaders excel at what they do! I am elated to have worked under their guidance and support. Mentors at Red Hen were versatile software architects, scientists and it was fun to learn from such great mentors. Their guidance and support is invaluable to me in my career. They had conducted several weekly sync-up meetings to advance the project, which was very helpful.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
GSoC significantly enhanced my programming skills by providing me with the opportunity to delve deeper into the field of linguistics, which was a valuable addition to my existing knowledge in speech and text processing. Throughout the program, I gained extensive experience in various aspects of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and linguistics, which included working with XML, conducting research, and applying linguistic knowledge in practical applications.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
Communication, compassion, and diligence are the keys to success in any internship or job role. Individuals should be diligent, demonstrate an increase in their attention, energy, and productivity, and engage frequently on platforms like Slack/Gmail/Teams.
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
I was really lucky to be engaged and monitored by seasoned professionals from the industry and academia. Their supervision on hands-on problem solving is second to none. This type of mentorship was really necessary for me to become a seasoned professional.

Immigrant Appreciation Day - May 1st 2024
+ Pictures
Thank you everyone that participated in Immigrant Appreciation this year. We had a full day of events and are grateful that many student organizations (undergraduate and graduate) participated, as well as different departments, programs, offices, and faculty across UMBC. Please check out our
photo album and add to it if you have any pictures.
This is the third time we have co-hosted an Immigrant Appreciation day on campus and always on May 1st. The first one was in 2016 and the second one in 2019. We have continuously collaborated with our colleagues in the Asian and Asian American Faculty Staff Council and we hope to continue to do so.
Undergraduate students led a craft table during the event
There are many reasons, and you may have your own, why we wanted to celebrate our immigrant communities on campus and beyond, but this year, we wanted to show our appreciation for the immigrant workers on campus, our immigrant grad students, undergrads, and our communities’ histories and stories.
Breakfast with Custodial Workers
We also wanted to honor the immigrant workers we lost in the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse this year. We wanted to honor: Miguel Luna, Maynor Yassir Suazo Sandoval, Dorlian Castillo Cabrera, José Mynor López, Carlos Hernández and Alejandro Hernández Fuentes. For this reason we also commissioned a painting by UMBC artist Ghazal Mojtahedi. Students were able to add to her art a series of messages in different languages to honor the workers. Thank you Dr. María Sánchez for making this collaboration possible.
Thank you to all of our LHFA members for supporting this event. We were asked many times throughout the day if we were planning to do this again next year. What do we think?
Hope to see you in our May 17th meeting to discuss it.

Global Accessibility Awareness Day is May 16
Awareness, Resources with Training Opportunities
May 16th is Global Accessibility Awareness Day! This day is dedicated to discussion and brainstorming about digital accessibility, bringing the experience of one billion people with disabilities to the forefront of online and computer-based experiences.

web accessibility at UMBC and review your, and your department's digital presence.
Some ways to honor/make progress on Digital Accessibility:
