Saint Wesonga

computer science intern

Saint, a senior computer science major at Malone College, was selected to intern with ITR’s Online Group. His 4.0 GPA and extensive extra-curricular involvement—both inside and outside of computer science—attest to his abilities and high level of motivation. With a solid set of skills already in place, Saint hopes to expand his web development expertise through increased PHP and Javascript experience.

Saint hails from Nairobi, Kenya, where he grew up before moving overseas to attend college. His favorite part about studying in the States is the opportunity for adventure—particularly the variety of places to travel. Saint plans to stick around for a few more years following graduation to earn his master’s in computer science from the Ohio State University.

When he isn’t involved in more serious work, Saint enjoys programming computer games including his own versions of Tetris and Minesweeper. Saint served as president of the Malone International Students Association and as secretary of the Malone chapter of the Association of IT Professionals, and is an MIT African Internet Technology Initiative Participant. He has also taken part in hurricane relief work in New Orleans and Mississippi, and the American Heart Association Team.
