"We have a wonderful relationship with Georgia Tech," said Todd Ericksrud, CEO of MatchBack Systems.

"The Master's candidates personal connection with MatchBack Systems executive team provides immediate and tangible feedback for professional development and creates meaningful results from their projects for the Company that will have a lasting impact. That's what truly makes these internships rewarding work experiences for our students and beneficial for our corporate partners."

"I worked on projects that will have a huge impact on container logistics in coming years," said Rohit. "I enhanced my data engineering and analysis skills, presented to senior fellows and investors, assisted in the formation of a new product and felt like a valued part of an innovative team and company. MatchBack Systems has truly great people who value interns' input to innovation. Overall, I could not have asked for a more constructive internship opportunity."
