Walter Menendez, a current intern at MongoDB's MMS team, was drawn to the company after learning about it through his work at the media lab at MIT and attending their career fair. At the MMS team, he is building the network operations center and enjoys the energetic culture and intelligent colleagues. His favorite part of working at MongoDB is seeing how many things MMS does and appreciating the complexity of the product. The most challenging aspect of his job is handling surprises that come up while coding. Walter hopes to learn more about scaling large data sets and meeting other engineers during his internship. In his free time, he enjoys taking photos, reading poetry, and browsing Tumblr.
