Fengge (David) Yu '16 joined  Amazon as a business analyst after graduating from Hamilton College. He was awarded an Amazon internship in their Seattle office in the summer of 2019 having realized, through his studies in statistics and computer science, that he enjoyed dealing with big chunks of data. David also felt well prepared by Hamilton’s New York City program that previously provided him a demanding internship at Pricap Advisors, a small investment management company.

David’s Amazon internship gave him responsibility for creating an automatic report system, and upon starting he had to create a required “press release,” an Amazon tradition that helps interns brainstorm customers’ pain points. In a Hamilton interview, David shared that “it was a painful experience for me because it forced me to plan everything out when I had very little information. But all the people, even those from other organizations within Amazon...had been extremely patient and helpful. I really loved Seattle when I was there last summer. I’m also excited that I can occasionally choose to work remotely either from home or in another city (or another country) where Amazon has an office.”
