Commenting On  Rockfish Internship Close

The time has come to where I must say good bye to my fellow interns at Rockfish Interactive. The 10-week internship ends officially this evening. While I may get the chance to see those that live in the area again, Krisna MacDonald (Creative) and Vina Zerlina (Front-End Developer) will be heading back to their out-of-state homes this weekend.

It is remarkable how quickly one can make friends in such a short period of time. It has been an enjoyable experience with them all. I am sure to miss the laughs we had while encouraging one another through our hefty project.

Now to present the RFI Intern Titles, along with a brief bio…

John Michael Cox
It seemed as though without fail, John (account manager intern), would inch his way toward my desk everyday to tell me something completely random or hover over my shoulder and pretend to criticize my work. Full of dry humor that few understand, John is granted the title of “Quirkiest Intern”.

Krisna MacDonald
An enjoyable guy to be around, Krisna was my creative buddy while at Rockfish. The biggest struggle we faced while interning was our attempts to talk to one another around or massive monitors. Loud and full of stories, Krisna earns the title of “Life of the Party”.

Vina Zerlina
Vina was the front-end developer on our little intern team. Quiet but fierce in her work, Vina was cursed with having to deal with all the interns issues with the interface design by herself. That is why she has earned the title of “Z-ina, Warrior Princess”.

Camille Malkiewicz
Camille, our other account manager intern, was unfortunate in being given a desk in the middle of everyone’s way. Almost everyone had a hand in playing little pranks on her or poking fun at her. However, she would not go down without a fight. Swift come backs are in her blood. She also quickly asserted herself as the team leader and made sure we were all on task. Both fierce and motherly, that’s why she gets the title of “Mother Bear”.

Prafulla Kota
I am pretty sure Prafulla (one of our intern developers) ate, slept, and drank code. More than once Prafulla found herself stressed beyond belief but still made it through the mountain of work before her. She justly deserves the title of “The Incarnation of Code”.

Abdul Asim Abdul
Abdul (our other developer) had to code his was through a mountain just like Prafulla, except one difference: facing the wrath of Prafulla, lol. Although I am uncertain in the matter, I am fairly sure Prafulla and Abdul were, more than once, at each other’s throats when stress levels got high on the project. Either way, I would not want to be in Prafulla’s way when things got out of hand (jk -lol). That’s why Abdul gets the title of “The Fearless Coding Ninja” “The Dragon”.

While that was all for fun, I now want to take a serious moment and thank my fellow interns for a job well done. Congratulations and thanks for all your hard work. It was really great to get to know you all.
