I eventually created a start-to-finish solution that took raw data and after some work gave you metrics numbers. The metrics framework had to be scalable, extendable, sturdy, and fast. Outside the Amazon buildings (there are several in Seattle), there’s a lot to do. Seattle is a great place. Cons: nothing Advice for other students: Amazon.com provided me with an awesome summer. If you get the chance, take the internship!
