  • "Launch was an incredibly valuable experience that helped bridge the gap between academics and the professional world. Through soft skills training, hands-on learning, and guided support, I felt well-prepared to step into my internship with confidence and clarity."

INTERN CASE STUDY
Software Engineering Internship at Testimonial IQ
During her internship with Testimonial IQ, Stella began by fixing small bugs in a production codebase before progressing to larger features and high-priority issues. In the second half of her internship, she collaborated closely with a Forge data science intern on an end-to-end feature that scored financial advising firms using a model derived from Google search rankings. Working in Next.js, Python, Figma, and Go, Stella shipped real production code, gained experience in a fast-moving startup environment, and delivered work her CEO noted he would typically assign to a consultant or entry-level engineer.
Stella Tsogtjargal Headshot
  • "My managers trusted me, and I had a lot of autonomy because of our small team. I learned a lot about what it's like to work at a start-up and how to communicate in a work setting. I especially am proud that my code exists in production, and that all my work at Testimonial IQ was valuable."
    Stella Tsogtjargal
    Computer Science & Astronomy Major, Brown University
  • "[Our Forge interns] were very enthusiastic. Worked independently. Completed real work that our company needed. More autonomous than most at that stage of career. Excellent attention to detail."

Data Science Internship at SupplyTrust Technologies
During his internship with SupplyTrust Technologies, Josh contributed to a high-impact project within the maritime industrial base. He developed a Python notebook to organize and analyze complex supply chain data, supported the UI for an AI-driven Apps Script tool, and partnered closely with his supervisor on research, analysis, and iterative revisions for a major submission. In addition to his technical work, Josh completed several smaller data and coding projects and traveled with the team to two Northeast suppliers. His combination of technical strength, problem-solving, and communication skills led SupplyTrust to extend him a full-time offer, which he accepted.

  • "Launch sturdied up skills I already had, taught me completely new things, and paired me with an internship I would not have found otherwise. I am very excited to return full time and am super grateful to Forge."
