🎓 Interns of 2025: Automating the Boring, Elevating the Brilliant 🤖

This summer, I had the privilege of working with three standout interns who didn't just learn the ropes—they redefined them with AI, automation, and genuine curiosity.

Meet the trio who made our workflows smarter and our meetings shorter:

đź§ 

Thomas Gammer

Tom brought the drive of a startup founder and remarkable skills in Power Automate. He streamlined document processes and transformed repetitive tasks into seamless, one-click solutions—making day-to-day work noticeably smoother.

⚙️

Aaron Wang

Aaron quietly led a critical automation project from start to finish. His automated flows simplified form submissions, approvals, and even team scheduling—turning complex processes into effortless routines. He also contributed significantly to micro-training materials, making our internal resources genuinely useful.

Together, they tackled:

Process Automation
Intelligent Chatbot Development
Micro-training Content Creation
AI Policy & Prompt Engineering Workshops

They didn't just automate tasks—they elevated our team's effectiveness.

To Tom, Aaron, and Zeal: Thank you for your creativity, curiosity, and meaningful contributions this summer.
