# Garrett Burroughs > Ex-Google SWE Intern Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/garrettburroughs Computer Science student at the University of Virginia's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Passionate about all things software and computing related. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Google Jan 2025 – Present | New York, New York, United States ### Full Stack Engineer Intern @ CargoLabs Inc. Jan 2023 – Jan 2025 | Charlottesville, Virginia, United States - Maintained legacy backend services developed with AWS lambda that inerfaced with a SQL database - Implemented, tested, and documented web APIs using AWS API gateway and Postman - Built out frontend components and UIs with Next.js - Migrated codebase to a monorepo structure to allow for the use of shared UI components across multiple user portals, managed with turborepo and deployed to Vercel ### Software Engineer Intern @ Google Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | New York, New York, United States At my summer with google, I was able to complete two projects that were each initially scoped to be completed in a single internship. Through both of these projects, I was able to provide Firebase customers value by greatly increasing the quality of the local development experience. In my first project, I added support for Firebase Alert Function triggers within the Firebase Emulator. I laid out design requirements that would allow for an intuitive testing experience, including automatic detection of triggers, creating an easy to use UI, and providing sensible defaults for rapid development. In my second project, I was able to design and implement an emulator for Cloud Task Queue functions, a feature which has been long requested by Firebase users. In this project, I identified the features of Cloud Task Queues that were essential for local development, as well as pruning some of the features which did not make sense to have in an emulated environment. Throughout both these projects, I was able to provide value to Firebase customers by easing many pain points which have been documented and requested by users. ### Software Engineer Intern @ Sitetracker Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Montclair, New Jersey, United States During my internship at Sitetracker, I had the pleasure of working alongside a scrum team comprised of Full-Time Software Engineer, QA specialists, and Product Managers. Over the course of the internship, I was trained on the Salesforce Ecosystem, learning Apex and LWC, which I then used to develop an RFI (Request for Information) tracking system. I was responsible for moving Jira tickets throughout the development process, including meeting initial specifications, writing unit tests, and ensuring that the tickets passed QA inspection. ### Instructor @ Juni Learning Jan 2020 – Jan 2023 With Juni Learning I have taught over 40 students one-on-one in private online programming lessons. I have instructed courses in Java, Python, Javascript, and AP Computer science. In my role as an instructor, I fostered a constructive learning environment that encouraged students to explore the different areas of coding and computer science. ### Research Assistant @ University of Virginia Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Charlottesville, Virginia, United States As a research assistant I worked under Professor Haiying Shen (Ph.D.) doing computer science research into Mobile Ad-Hoc delay-tolerant networks. In this role, I wrote an implementation of a Delay Tolerant network using the Google nearby connection API to relay messages and calculate the optimal routing path via Android phones in Java. At the end of the position, I ran performance tests on the network, and compiled my results into a presentation of how the network performed. ### JumpCutterFrontend Developer @ EditorKH Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 As a frontend developer working on the JumpCutter project, I designed and implemented UI components in an Electron-based desktop application using React as a frontend framework, and Redux as a state management tool. ### Teaching Assistant @ All Star Code Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Greater New York City Area ### Participant @ All Star Code Jan 2018 – Jan 2020 | Greater New York City Area All Star Code is a nonprofit computer science education organization focused on motivated Black and Latino young men. Few organizations prepare this underserved group for careers in the innovation economy. Our ultimate goal is to close the wealth, income and opportunity gaps. ### Head Of Programming at montclair robotics @ FIRST Jan 2018 – Jan 2020 | Montclair, NJ The code lead at FRC team 555 Montclair robotics, in charge of training new members, project management, administrative work and overall tech support for the team. ### FLL mentor @ FIRST Jan 2017 – Jan 2020 | Montclair NJ As the director of an FLL robotics team, I teach a team of 5 kids, the fundamentals of engineering, problem-solving, and computer science, teaching and challenging them to learn new and important skills. ### Code Team Member @ FIRST Jan 2016 – Jan 2020 | Montclair, NJ As a member of FRC Team 555, Montclair robotics, I have gained a large amount of experience in many different areas. As a Code member, I learned advanced java and mechanical concepts. Including inverse drivetrain kinematics, PID Control, Vector math, current monitoring and limiting, and many other mechanical programming concepts. I also developed a robot framework called alloy: https://github.com/GarrettBurroughs/Alloy As a general team member, I have coordinated many events with other teams, as well as at middle and elementary schools, scheduling events like stem initiative presentations, and family code nights, that get the community interested in STEM. ### Online Tutor @ TakeLessons Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 Online tutoring in math and computer science ## Education ### Bachelor of Science - BS in Computer Science University of Virginia ### Montclair High School ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/garrettburroughs - GitHub: https://github.com/GarrettBurroughs --- Source: https://flows.cv/garrettburroughs JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/garrettburroughs/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-30
