☀️ Summer Spotlight ☀️
For our first spotlight of the summer, we’re featuring Jet Etnyre, a senior studying Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Iowa!
Jet is spending his summer as an AI Engineer Intern at Midland States Bank, where he’s helping build and secure AI tools used across the organization. From researching emerging technologies to collaborating with teams throughout the bank, Jet is gaining hands-on experience while exploring his passion for artificial intelligence and machine learning.
One of Jet’s biggest takeaways from the summer?
“I enjoy being on the cutting edge of the AI/ML space and can see myself building out or leading teams to build these types of tools as a career.”
When asked what advice he had for other students searching for internships, Jet said:
“Take advantage of all the opportunities available… As long as you have your head down and putting the necessary effort in, you will find the right opportunity for you.”
Outside of work, Jet has enjoyed spending time with family and friends, staying consistent in the gym, catching movies in theaters—and, of course, working remotely on Fridays alongside his four-legged coworkers, Toby and Angel. 🐶
Join us in celebrating Jet and all of the incredible experiences our Iowa Engineering students are having this summer! 🖤💛
