Name: Abhishek Mahindrakar

Internship, Co-op or Research Site: Equifax

Position Title: DevOps Automation Intern

Major(s)/Minor(s): Information Systems, Master’s Student

Work Term: Summer 2019 

Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.

I joined Equifax as DevOps Automation Intern and my daily responsibilities were working on tools like Jenkins, Tableau, Hygieia, and ELK stack. On a day-to-day basis, I was given the task of creating automation scripts and orchestrating tasks on Jenkins. Then, I was responsible for visualizing the results of all the jobs on dashboards like Tableau, Hygieia or Kibana. My job role also included creating scripts in Groovy and Python to draw data from servers and publish it on Jenkins which can be further published onto ELK stack for visualizations. This internship gave me great exposure to a lot of tools and technologies which not only helped me build my knowledge of all the latest tools being used in the professional world but will also help me better my resume for future endeavors. 

Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?

I applied online for the internship position at Equifax and received a call from HR to set up a technical interview. There were two rounds of technical interviews which were set up on Zoom. A week after the final round, I received an email from HR that they had concluded the process and hired me for the internship position. The process was very smooth and in less than 3 weeks I received the offer letter.

What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization? 

I got great exposure to a lot of tools and also a great experience working in a professional environment. 

How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?

Equifax is a credit bureau and it works on customer records and their credit history. I was a part of the CI/CD team which is the continuous integration and continuous deployment team. Various teams work on various tools like Nexus, Rundeck, Sonar, etc. Our job was to combine all these tools for different teams and create a common platform where all the teams could collaborate their work and create results as an alliance which would help the people higher in hierarchy to analyze and view results. 

What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience? 

My advice would be to stick to your domain and field of interest. Get an internship in the field similar to your interest and build your profile accordingly. Also, connect with as many people as possible to increase your contacts and know your company better. Additionally, the Career Center was of great help initially in creating my resume for open internship positions. Career events and the “Intern Like a Pro” practicum that is organized by Career Center were of great help to track my internship development.
