LufCo

For this week's LufCo Intern Spotlight, we are excited to feature Chloe Hamilton. Check out our Q&A to learn about her passion for cybersecurity, her favorite parts of the LufCo team culture, and her ultimate travel dream skill.

◾Where do you go to school, what are you studying, and what made you choose that major?
"I currently attend Southern New Hampshire University and I am majoring in cybersecurity. I chose to pursue cybersecurity because it complements my love of technology, innovation, and problem solving."
◾What first drew you to LufCo, or what has been your favorite part of the company culture so far?
"The company culture and countless opportunities to learn and grow drew me to LufCo. My favorite part about the company culture is how willing everyone is to teach me new things. People from all different STEM backgrounds have been very willing to introduce me to new things which has contributed to a great experience at LufCo."
◾If you could summarize your LufCo internship experience so far in just three words, what would they be?
"The three words I would use to describe my LufCo internship experience so far are impactful, educational and motivating."
◾Looking ahead, what is your ultimate ""dream job"" or career milestone?
"I plan to earn my CompTIA Security+ certification shortly after I graduate college which will help me achieve my career goals. My career milestone is securing my first full-time job offer in cybersecurity."
◾When you aren’t studying or working at LufCo, what do you like to do for fun?
"When I am not studying or working I enjoy outdoor activities like kayaking and fishing. I also love spending time with friends and family."
◾If you could instantly master any new skill (professional or just for fun) overnight, what would it be?
"If I could master any new skill instantly I would want to be able to speak every language. Being able to speak every language would complement my love of travel and allow me to better understand different cultures and people groups."

Thank you for bringing your problem-solving mindset and passion for learning to LufCo this summer, Chloe!

Our Intern Spotlight series continues! Get to know Owen Robinson through a Q&A about his passion for vertical integration, adapting to real-world engineering challenges, and his ultimate travel hack.

◾Where do you go to school, what are you studying, and what made you choose that major?
"I’m studying mechanical engineering at the University of Delaware. I chose this major because I’ve always been drawn to the blend of problem-solving and design - taking a concept and making it real."
◾What first drew you to LufCo?
"What drew me to LufCo was its vertical integration. Seeing the design, material selection, and manufacturing all happen in-house is exactly the kind of environment I want to learn in."
◾What has surprised you the most about transitioning from the classroom to working at LufCo?
"The biggest shift from school is that nothing here is a textbook problem. There's no defined answer key; you work with real-world constraints and must figure out the best path forward."
◾What is a piece of advice you received from a professor or mentor that has stuck with you?
"I’ve always liked Henry Ford’s perspective on growth: Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. This summer at LufCo is all about stepping out of my comfort zone, learning from the experienced engineers here, and making the most of this internship."
◾When you aren’t studying or working at LufCo, what do you like to do for fun?
"When I'm off the clock, you can usually find me at the gym, going for a hike, or planning my next trip."
◾If you could instantly master any new skill (professional or just for fun) overnight, what would it be?
"I’d instantly master being completely fluent in multiple languages. I love to travel, and skipping the hassle of translation apps to just blend in anywhere in the world would be the ultimate travel hack."

We love having your curiosity and drive on the team, Owen. Thank you for bringing such a great perspective to LufCo this summer!

At LufCo, we believe that supporting mental health isn't just a checklist—it’s a daily commitment to our people. For PTSD Awareness Month, we are reminding ourselves of how we can actively make a difference, both inside and outside our workplace:

◾Educate: Continually learning and sharing knowledge about PTSD to break the stigma.
◾Listen: Offering a space of empathy and zero judgment for our colleagues and communities.
◾Support: Walking alongside friends and teammates as they seek the care they deserve.
◾Advocate: Standing up for better, more accessible mental health resources for everyone.

Every story and every struggle is valid, and we believe that true strength lies in community, understanding, and healing. Let’s look out for one another. Learn more and find resources here: https://www.va.gov/health-care/health-needs-conditions/mental-health/ptsd/

Welcome to our first Lufco Intern Spotlight! Get to know Joshua Olinger, one of our incredible engineering interns through a quick Q&A about his journey from the classroom to our team, his ultimate dream job, and his goals on the golf course.

🔷 Where do you go to school, what are you studying, and what made you choose that major?
"I am a junior at Liberty University studying mechanical engineering. I chose mechanical engineering because I developed an interest in how things work early on in my life. My true passion is aerodynamics, but I wanted to keep my education general enough to understand the basics of engineering."

🔷 What first drew you to LufCo, and what has been your favorite part of the company culture so far?
"LufCo interested me because it is a rapidly expanding company that is transitioning to full-scale work. LufCo is no longer just a software company; they are beginning to blur the lines between engineering disciplines. My favorite part about the culture is the tight-knit community. Everyone knows everyone, and the employees are not afraid to show their personalities."

🔷What has surprised you the most about transitioning from the classroom to working at LufCo?
"At LufCo, my workday is far less structured than my class schedule. I have the freedom to work on my own, with my mentor, or with the other interns."

🔷Looking ahead, what is your ultimate "dream job"?
"My dream job would be working for either the Air Force or NASA in some type of flight dynamics position."

🔷When you aren’t studying or working at LufCo, what do you like to do for fun?
"I enjoy playing sports, especially disc golf."

🔷If you could instantly master any new skill (professional or just for fun) overnight, what would it be?
"I would love to master the game of golf (honestly just break 90).'
