Less than a month after graduating college with a degree in computer science, University of New Orleans student Rishav Rajendra will be starting his first job with one of the world’s most recognizable brands: Facebook.
Rajendra, who completed a 12-week internship with the company last summer, is headed to Menlo Park, Calif. to work at its headquarters. Because of COVID-19, Rajendra’s internship was performed remotely.
He starts work Jan. 4 and Rajendra said he’s excited about his position as a software engineer on the Facebook Watch team. Facebook Watch is a video-on-demand service.
“I mainly focus on streaming music videos, stuff like that,” he said. “If you go and search for a Taylor Swift song … I make sure that you find that video on top of the feed.”
