Rice CS alumnus Eugene Byon thrives in an environment that requires him to weave together multiple data streams. He said, “At ExxonMobil I’ve played a part in building scientific computing systems for upstream geoscientists and engineers. These systems often have to exchange data and communicate with services provided by other teams within the company and outside vendors and we have to make them all talk and work together. We’re often talking about millions of lines of code and thousands of components. Building larger-sized systems in [Rice's] software engineering class was a good, real-life experience.”
