Jacob Vesco Interns at NorthWestern Energy

Jacob has had two internships with NorthWestern Energy (NWE), first as an applications technologist and second as an applications dev ops technologist. The first internship was stationed at NWE’s main office in Butte, MT during the summer and fall semester of 2019. He was involved in a variety of different types of projects. His biggest project had him develop an online safety reporter in the form of a website for use internally by NWE employees. Another note-worthy project involved transferring data from CSV files to an SQL database, then using SSRS to generate reports from the data. Jacob’s second internship, which was during the summer and fall semester of 2020, had him working on robotic process automation (RPA). Throughout the entire internship, he developed a single large bot for the credit group of NWE all while working remotely from home. The bot is meant to automate a daily, repetitive process which the credit group spends over 800 hours a year working on. Jacob’s time with NWE has provided him with valuable memories, friends, and experience that will serve him for the rest of my career.
