Internship in the United States

It was my first trip to United States. It was a tremendous experience! The internship was held by InterSystems international corporation in Cambridge, MA, but I have also visited New York and a Cape Cod island. I was staying there for three months.

Me and around 25 more interns were practicing with the corporation's internal projects during the Summer in the biggest corporation's office located at One Memorial Drive. It was a full-time occupation, but by the Summer's program we have visited a lot of different places: we've tried kayaking, was at Kings Boston bowling, visited Fenway Park to see the Red Sox baseball game and had a lot of fun organizing our own trip to the Cape Cod island.

I was working under the vMonkey project with my colleague Matthew Gross. In general, this project is a corporate user interface for the VMware vCloud Director's API, allowing people in the company to create remote virtual machines with any configuration and InterSystems products pre-installed on them for the temporary testing purposes. The user interface helped people to set up, manage and control these virtual configurations. The global task for me and Matthew for the Summer was to complete the transition between the VMware Lab Manager and VMware vCloud Director, as VMware dropped support of Lab Manager, which was widely used in the vMonkey project. In addition, I created an interface to manage templates of configurations: the basic setup of the virtual machine which can be cloned with one button.
