# Internship Final Project Presentation — [Intern Name]

## 1. Project Mission & Technical Architecture
- **Capstone Project:** Built an automated Markdown Table Monospace Formatter that cleans ragged pipe tables in place.
- **Technical Stack:** TypeScript, AST unist-util-visit parser, local Vitest test harness.
- **Delivered Output:** Production feature merged into release candidate v2.4 with 100% unit test coverage.

## 2. Evaluation Rubric & Competency Assessment
| Competency Area | Observed Intern Capability | Rating (1-5) |
|---|---|---|
| **Technical Execution** | Wrote clean, idiomatic TypeScript with zero regressions | 4.8 / 5 |
| **Learning Agility** | Quickly mastered AST syntax parsing trees within two weeks | 5.0 / 5 |
| **Team Collaboration** | Actively participated in daily standups and sought mentor pairing | 4.5 / 5 |
| **Presentation Clarity** | Delivered an engaging, technically rigorous demo to the team | 4.5 / 5 |

## 3. Mentor Feedback & Professional Growth

- **Growth Areas:** Continue deepening familiarity with low-level memory allocation and asynchronous concurrency patterns.

## 4. Return Offer Decision & Follow-Up Directives
- **Formal Committee Decision:** **EXTEND FULL-TIME RETURN OFFER (Software Engineer I)**.
- [ ] [[Engineering Manager]] Coordinate with University Recruiting to draft formal offer package.
- [ ] [[Senior Mentor]] Conduct final 1-on-1 celebration lunch and deliver written recommendations.

## 2. Decision
Marcus and Sarah commended Kevin's exceptional performance and voted unanimously to extend a full-time return offer upon graduation.

When to Use and When to Avoid

When to Use

• Use during final intern project demonstrations and capstone reviews.
• Use to evaluate intern technical contributions, learning velocity, and team collaboration.
• Use to make objective, data-backed full-time return offer decisions.

When to Avoid

• Avoid using for weekly tactical intern 1-on-1 pairing sessions.
• Avoid using for senior executive placement reviews.
