Passionate About Inclusive, Innovative, and Ethically Driven Software Engineering
Chaman Betrabet, a master’s student studying software engineering systems, is excitedly preparing to embark on a new career chapter as a mobile integration developer intern at SAP America. This opportunity at SAP America represents a significant milestone in Betrabet’s journey.
Betrabet acknowledges the invaluable technical skills gained throughout the program. Courses such as Principles of Object-Oriented Design and Program Structures and Algorithms equipped Betrabet with a solid foundation in software engineering. The industry-based teaching approach at the College of Engineering provided Betrabet with not only technical knowledge but also a deep understanding of best practices employed in the field. Additionally, courses like Career Management for Engineers offered valuable insights into the hiring process in the U.S., empowering Betrabet with the necessary guidelines and etiquettes to succeed.
As a mobile integration developer intern at SAP America, Betrabet’s roles and responsibilities encompass design and development across all layers of the software stack, with an expectation to demonstrate a strong grasp of object-oriented design principles and possess proficiency in a specific programming language. Betrabet reflects on some notable projects while at Northeastern. One of these projects involved developing a full-stack web application for expense tracking using the MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) stack. Another project worth mentioning is the simulation of solving the Travelling Salesman Problem using Christofedes algorithm. These experiences have honed Betrabet’s technical prowess and provided preparation for the challenges ahead.
When asked about advice for fellow students, Betrabet emphasizes the importance of hard work and pursuing one’s dreams. Dedication and perseverance are key ingredients for success in any endeavor.
Betrabet also fondly recalls the vibrant fests held during the fall. These events brought the entire university community together and allowed Betrabet to explore and connect with the diverse organizations present at Northeastern. Working out at Marino, the university’s fitness facility, also provided not only physical exercise but a fun and enjoyable experience.
Looking toward the future, Betrabet envisions continually learning and gaining a deep understanding of the technical concepts within projects, and aspires to develop a broader perspective of the domains in which the projects are involved.
Betrabet is passionate about making a positive impact in the field of software engineering, making this field accessible to everyone, regardless of their access to technology is a goal. Betrabet aims to utilize programming to automate manual tasks, reducing burdens and inefficiencies. Moreover, Betrabet is eager to innovate and contribute to new ideas. Above all, Betrabet emphasizes the importance of responsible and ethical use of technology and software, promoting the well-being of individuals and society as a whole.
