Alexander Bowler interned at Akamai in the summer of 2016 as part of their Platform Infrastructure Engineering internship. His project involved researching Akamai's document systems and content to prepare a sample inventory for their Content Curation project. He found the Akamai Foundations for Engineers course valuable for learning about the company and applying that knowledge to his project. His work helped initiate the content curation project and provided a foundation for future phases by consolidating documentation data and common engineering terms.

for the Content Curation project.
Memorable moment from your summer experience: I had a really fun
time at Tom’s barbeque, it was a great way to meet other interns and
hear about Akamai from its own CEO!!

3. Akamai Foundations for Engineers
• In June, I participated in an interactive four-
day course where several Akamai
professionals spoke about their respective
concentrations to provide an in-depth
background on the company for new hires.
• Not only was this a great way to learn more
about the company, I also was able to take a
lot of the content I learned during it and apply
it to my content curation project.
