Dropbox Continues Its Tradition Of Hiring Young And Talented With Alicia Chen!
California is the home to so many tech sector jobs that it is almost hard to believe that anywhere else in the country would have any tech jobs that needed filling! Part of the reason so many start-ups and enduring tech sector businesses take root in California is because of the colleges. Some of the world’s most renowned universities for science and technology are located in California: UCLA, Stanford, and the University of California at Berkeley, to name a few. Many businesses work to recruit ambitious, technical-minded employees right out of college. That is what happened with Alicia Chen.
Alicia Chen is a software engineer for Dropbox. Chen was hired in 2011to work on Dropbox’s Windows, Linux, and Mac programming. Dropbox was not Alicia Chen’s job in the tech sector following her graduation from college, but only because she managed to parlay an internship with Microsoft into a job for almost four years! For the past year, Alicia Chen has applied her programming talents to make herself indispensible at Dropbox.
A graduate of McQueen High School, Alicia Chen attended the University of Nevada at Reno for a year before determining that was not where she wanted to study. With her exceptional intelligence and hard work ethic, Chen transferred to Stanford University. There, she studied Computer Science. Alicia Chen also worked hard to make the best use out of the California setting she found herself in. While she studied at Stanford University, Chen applied for internships at some of the established tech sector businesses in California.
While on summer break her first year at Stanford University, Alicia Chen worked at an internship at MusicGiants, Inc. The internship with MusicGiants gave Chen real-world programming experience, in this case programming tools that enhanced the company’s database! MusicGiants was able to grow as a direct result of Alicia Chen implementing a program to allow the company to assimilate music into its databases easier.
For her second summer at Stanford, Alicia Chen took an internship with Microsoft. As a software development intern, she spent four months working as a part of the remote desktop team. That internship led her to full-time employment in 2007, after she graduated with her Bachelor’s of Science in Computer Science from Stanford University. After graduating, Chen returned to Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Team where she worked for almost four years.
In June 2011, Alicia Chen joined Dropbox where she is applying her talents and helping the company grow.
