Zach Walnock Team Lead RSVP Approved

AI Engineering Intern at Cranium
Zach was backend engineer. Zach built the agent, pieces of the data scrapping functionality, and hosted the agent on Google Cloud Run.
I'm currently a Penn State Student double majoring in Computer Science and Math. I love puzzles and problem solving, and that passion led me directly into AI. I am currently the President of the Nittany AI Student Society, and working at Cranium as an AI Engineering intern.
I am extremely passionate about education, and I truly believe that AI has the potential to make significant progress towards enabling more students to find that "spark" that drives their passion. I am also super into video-editing and special effects, and hoping to start building a tool to make that process more seamless.
Currently, I am working as an AI Engineering Intern at Cranium, focusing on developing security and red teaming methods for AI systems. I am the President of the Nittany AI Student Society at Penn State, and looking to get more involved in the NYC AI community. Right now, I'm thinking about an education-based video solution that I think could be useful for our organization. Hopefully more to the come at the hackathon this weekend....

Natalie Santo RSVP Approved

Software Engineering Intern at Cranium AI
The frontend engineer. Natalie built the entire frontend!
I am a rising Junior at Florida State University, where I am majoring in both Computer Science and Cyber Criminology while minoring in mathematics. Throughout my education, I have gathered experience from multiple technological fields. During the school year, I worked on building an app named "ParkSense" with a team of other student developers, which aims to find accessible parking for disabled students on campus. I am also currently working at Cranium, where I have received hands-on experience with both our backend and frontend development, SDLC, and QA automation tests. I also am currently working on a game using Unity game engine!
I hope to continue my career in software development while learning how to integrate AI into my skillset. I'm interested in how AI can enhance areas like QA testing, model training, and developer productivity, while also having the passion to take an idea and turn it into a scalable product.
Currently interning at Cranium, where I'm implementing a new feature through both backend and UI work. This week, I also began implementing an LLM into our playwright QA testing to make the process faster. In my personal time, I'm cocreating a Dungeon Crawler game using Unity game engine
