Bianca ValdovinosI currently work as a Software Engineer at Raytheon Technologies. I began as an intern there in the Summer of 2019 building code that wipes the memory of classified hardware. In addition to building code, I ran signal integrity tests on this hardware. I graduated from Cal State LA in June with a degree in Electrical Engineering and a specialization in power systems. My senior design project focused on using a computer to recognize objects in images. This process of object recognition uses machine learning. This project piqued my interest in computer engineering and is the reason why I chose to pursue a position as a software engineer. |
