Internship Experience - Spring'23

I am delighted to share that I had the privilege of continuing my internship as a software engineer at the Copart Dallas, TX, office. Copart is a global leader in the online auto auction industry, offering more than 175,000 cars for sale daily across multiple brands and countries. With over 200 sites across 11 countries, Copart is a true industry giant, and I was excited to be a part of such an innovative and dynamic company.

Working with the B2B team, I developed a solid understanding of the business by collaborating with clients and sales staff. As a Java developer, I was allowed to add value to different projects and learned a great deal from my seniors. I was also allowed to lead business enhancements and grow professionally and gain valuable experience.

Building on my previous experience, I used my knowledge of new tools and technologies, collaborating with senior engineers and management to achieve optimal application design, proactive communication with teammates to improve processes and engineering excellence, and working on production bugs, stories, and client enhancements. My technical knowledge of Spring, Spring Boot, Rest API, Jenkins, and Maven grew. Additionally, I refreshed my Java and SQL knowledge and gained proficiency in version control systems such as GitHub.

This internship at Copart Inc has helped me hone my critical and strategic thinking, decision-making, teamwork, interpersonal, and time management skills. I am grateful to my team, particularly my Director Mohan, Manager Krishna, and senior Brian, for their unwavering support throughout my time at Copart. This experience has provided me with a solid foundation for future endeavors.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to my professors, most notably Mark Thouin at The University of Texas at Dallas (JSOM), for their guidance and support. Overall, this internship has been an enriching and enjoyable experience, and I look forward to further learning and growth. Copart's commitment to innovation and customer service has truly inspired me, and I hope to one day have the opportunity to contribute to the company's continued success.
