About me

Hello! My name is Michael Hendrick. I'm a Software Engineer at Meta, where I also interned in the Summer of 2019 (then Facebook).

I am based out of the company's Washington D.C. office, where I work on an Integrity team that works to keep users safe from potential real world threats.

I have a Masters degree in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology , which I obtained via their online campus while working at Meta.

While in undergrad at Boston University, I was a Software Engineering Intern at Akamai Technologies, working on a incident management system. Even futher back, I was a software quality assurance intern at Mindera Inc, working on automated testing for web apps.

Across these positions, I've been blessed to be surrounded by very talented developers, who have encouraged me to develop some pretty nifty projects over the years. One of which was an web application to help fellow students find study partners. You can find an article about it here.

During my undergraduate years, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to be a Senior undergraduate course assistant for the BU computer Science department, where every semester I got a chance to share my passion for CS with new students. I expanded my teaching by serving as the lead Teaching Assitance in BU's Spark! program. I was also the Technical Lead for a chapter of Hack4Impact, an oncampus organization that creates applications for non-profits in our communities. Additionally, I served a year as the Head of Technology for BostonHacks, one of the Northeast's premier hackathons.

I also wrote two academic papers in my final semester of undergrad, one of which was accepted and featured at DEBS 2020. More information can be found on my research page.
