We are thrilled to announce that Brendan Vick has accepted a position as a Software Engineering Intern with GTRI (Georgia Tech Research Institute) at Hill Air Force Base, Utah! This incredible opportunity allows Brendan to contribute to and learn from a highly esteemed team. Reflecting on this achievement, Brendan shared on LinkedIn: "The last few weeks as a Software Engineering Intern at GTRI have been incredible! Here are a few things I have been able to do:

  • Assemble physical server stacks to run LMOC (Live Mission Operations Capability).
  • Write testable, high-quality code in C#, utilizing protocol buffers to communicate between applications.
  • Develop NUnit tests and documentation for our applications.
  • Interface directly with hardware to gather data for our applications.
  • Test functionality by using VMs to simulate different communication aspects of our applications.
  • Utilize agile methodologies to quickly iterate on our solutions.
  • Engage with brilliant colleagues who challenge me to grow and learn every day.

Our ATAS (Aerospace, Transportation, and Advanced Systems Laboratory) team at Hill AFB is working on LMOC, a system of systems that enables US Air Force warfighters to train more effectively. Our solutions are enhancing performance across the Air Force.

I am very grateful to be part of this impactful project and humbled by the opportunity. Looking forward to further expanding my skill set and contributing to innovative solutions over the next couple of months!"

More About Brendan

My essential skills: "I definitely needed to know how to write clean, efficient code that solved an abstract problem and be able to understand it enough to modify it based on requirement changes. The biggest skill I think helped me secure the position was to be able to communicate my thoughts clearly and succinctly."

My hobbies: "I really like mountain and road biking and have recently gotten into rudimentary game development using Unity."

My bucket list goal: "Become a father."

My favorite music/artist: "Anything from the Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse soundtrack."

Brendan is also more than happy to meet with students who have questions. We are proud of Brendan's achievements and excited to see what the future holds!
