I was an intern only a few years ago struggling to find my first tech job in SF. One interviewer honestly said I was “overqualified” —an MD with a Master’s degree applying for roles designed for college students.
Fast forward a few years and I’m super proud to have graduated 3 rockstar interns over the past 2 years into prestigious PhD programs in the US and Europe. From unlikely backgrounds, over/underqualified, but incredibly passionate and intelligent, they became meaningful global contributors to cutting-edge technology during their time at Intron Health.
Mohammed a rockstar from Sudan, now a CS PhD at Dublin City University braved a volatile political climate, sanctions, and several limitations in his home country, but helped build some of our very first production-ready speech recognition and language models.
Joanne is from Nigeria, now in her Biomedical Informatics PhD at BME - University of Cincinnati. Joanne and I have a lot in common— the only other doctor I know with 3D animation experience out of medical school. She’s a researcher, a coder, a problem solver, and an artist— basically a clone of me in many ways. She’s an absolute genius. She led data quality and data operations and helped scale our clinical speech data collection from one to 6 countries.
Abraham, a true rockstar from Nigeria, now heading to The Ohio State University for his CS PhD. Not many ML enthusiasts have the courage to edit the underlying code/algorithm for a speech recognition model. We bypassed our usual interview process to hire him and he’s grown into an ML powerhouse with a breath of practical ML expertise that very few can match.
We’re super proud to contribute something useful on their journeys and we appreciate the time they invested at Intron. I am truly grateful!
