Hemanth Sundaram, Student Worker

“I have been working at CACN since April 2023, and it has been a delight to say the least. Firstly, as an international student, this opportunity provided the much-needed exposure about working with people from a different culture. Professionally, I have gotten to interact with the smartest engineers to build really cool projects. From networking systems to 5G core and RAN networks, cloud computing, and GIS systems, there has been an endless supply of interesting problems to apply my skills as a Software and Firmware Engineer. I’d like to express first my gratitude to CACN for giving me this terrific opportunity to work while learning, and second, my enthusiasm for the future projects that follow.”
