CompassRed Welcomes Summer 2021 Intern Class
July 15th, 2021
At CompassRed, we believe in the value of internships as well as the benefit that both the student and the organization receive. We are excited to officially introduce CompassRed’s Class of 2021 Summer Interns that are joining us from May through the end of August. This will be CompassRed’s 5th official class of interns and consists of four team members with skills ranging from data science to security and visualization.
We feel that it is one thing to work with and learn about data in the classroom. It is a whole new ballgame when you are able to take what you learned and apply it to real and impactful client problems. That is why we offer our interns the opportunity to get involved in our client projects, allowing them to see what the industry is really like outside of the controlled classroom setting. This summer includes a wide variety of data related projects from data security support to building predictive models. All the while immersing themselves in the CompassRed culture and getting a feel for what life in a startup business really looks like.
Without further adieu we introduce the Class of Summer 2021:
Ayan Kumar Das
A graduate Student at Drexel Universities, Lebow College of Business, Ayan comes to CompassRed with 4 years of IT experience in data implementation (ETL), data analysis, and data visualization process. He is a goal-oriented, perseverant Data Engineer interested in exploring the nuances and advancements of the industry. This summer Ayan will be supporting the Data Architecture team on a number of data warehouse and engineering projects looking to clean up and allow organizations to better utilize their data.
When he isn’t heads down in technical work, Ayan is a hardcore Batman fan and prides himself on having watched the Dark Knight Trilogy over 50 times.
Cecilia Castelli
In grad school, Cecilia quickly realized her passion for interpreting and analyzing data, helping businesses find innovative solutions to their problems. She believes clean and clear data allows for faster, more significant business decisions. This summer, Cecilia will be involved with projects exploring customer voice analysis and additional social marketing projects along the way.
Outside of her technical work, she is extremely active and energetic. A former Division 1 Tennis star at Temple University, Cecilia enjoys sports, exploring new things, travelling, and cooking. Originally hailing from Italy, you will not be able to say no to her homemade pasta and gelato.
Connor Callahan
Connor has always had a passion for the innovation of technology. He enjoys pursuing this passion by working on side projects and reading about the future of the industry. He will be working directly with clients focused on SharePoint management and support in addition to File Access Management (FAM) projects.
Connor enjoys problem solving and applying knowledge to grow as a person everyday. His current side hustle is working with a professor to create the SCU Media Lab - with the hope of establishing a lab similar to the MIT Media Lab, researching human interaction, social media, and controversial topics.
Jared Stefanowicz
As our Data Science intern, Jared will be working on applying text analysis methods, natural language processing and building predictive models on datasets of customer reviews throughout the summer. He also works as an undergraduate research assistant at Temple University, applying data science to the study of drug effects on EEG brainwaves.
Prior to transitioning to data science, Jared worked as a freelance iOS Developer on apps used by over 100,000 people. In addition, Jared enjoys playing chess and ice hockey and following the Philadelphia Phillies.
The enthusiasm, passion and experience that the class continues to bring day in and day out has brought a fresh perspective and renewed positivity to the CompassRed offices coming out of the Covid pandemic. We look forward to spending the remainder of the summer with our Class of 2021 and seeing what more they can teach us along the way.
