Prototype fast with Python (FastAPI + Streamlit) to prove value in days, not months
Model a customer's domain into a clean data model / ontology and build on top of a platform
Deploy into real customer environments: Docker, cloud vs on-prem, config, and secrets
Operate delivered software: structured logging, metrics, production debugging, and a support loop

About This Internship

A project-driven internship for the fastest-growing role in tech: the Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE): the customer-facing engineer who embeds with a client, turns their messiest problems into working software, and ships it into their environment. Pioneered at Palantir and now everywhere from OpenAI to early-stage startups, the FDE blends software engineering, data integration, and solutions consulting. Month 1 builds the core toolkit: the FDE role and customer discovery, third-party API integration, data wrangling with SQL and pandas, and rapid prototyping, ending in a customer onboarding tool, OnboardFlow. Month 3 goes deep: solutions architecture and data modeling, deploying into customer environments, observability and support, and security/compliance, finishing with a deployed, customer-facing capstone, FieldOps. Every project is a portfolio repo.
