Philip Do
Hey everyone! My name is Philip and I am a third-year computer science and engineering major. I interned at Boeing in high school where I worked on a lunar regolith mining system and eventually became a lead for that internship program the next year. Last summer, I worked at Northrop Grumman as a software engineering intern who did front-end development. I did software research and development on a model-based systems engineering platform as an intern at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) this summer. Next summer, I will be in Seattle as a Cyber Intern for Risk and Financial Advisory at Deloitte. I am from Orange County, CA and my hobbies include skateboarding, working out, watching sunsets, and reading the Percy Jackson series. I also have a 2nd-degree black belt in taekwondo!

Sam Basu
Hi! My name is Samprikta Basu but I go by Sam for short and I’m a sophomore computer science and engineering major originally from Seattle, Washington. I’ve interned at a couple startups (one being a vc fund and the other being a platform helping people find accessible accommodations whilst traveling). I also was a high school intern at Microsoft, working on an NLP chatbot to support the Remote Desktop Infra Team. Most recently I’ve interned at Google through the STEP program doing full stack work on a debugging and experiment launching portal for Google Play engineers. Outside of engineering I also love watching films/learning about the industry so I’m working on getting a Film, Television, and Digital Media minor as well! On campus, I’m involved with SWE, specifically the lobbying committee, and Bruin Entrepreneurs.

Sasha Grishchenko
Hi! My name is Sasha Grishchenko and I’m a senior chemical engineering student. I have interned with Entegris’ R&D department, and most recently worked in the implant operations team at Samsung Austin Semiconductor. At UCLA I’m involved with AIChE’s ChemE Car team, as well as the Student Alumni Association, and Engineering Ambassadors.
