Spotlight:

Editor’s Note: Representing the chapter as Spotlight is Edison Carrick.
From the hometown of Calhoun, GA, Edison is a fifth year student and is pursuing his
BS EE. Having served the chapter as chaplain and pool manager, Edison was selected as
Spotlight because of his commitment to the house (specifically taking care of the pool for
the last few years) as well as just being an all-around good guy. For fun, he enjoys hiking,
horticulture, and web design.

What type of work were you doing during your
internships?
I’ve worked for two different startups and
Whirlpool Corp. The first startup was user
experience related and big data data gathering. The
second startup was for an agricultural technology
company where I designed and built their front end
user portal for viewing their field moisture data.
This current summer I’m working for Whirlpool in
the Human Machine Interface group where I write
software to control the interface the user interacts
with on an up-and-coming washing machine.
