ALP Certificate alum, Noah Sesling, accepted an internship at the Metropolitan Opera in the Media Department as part of his Special Opportunity Grant opportunity. Sesling spent three-and-a-half months working closely with a team of administrators at the Metropolitan Opera company to provide support to the staff in charge of Met Opera On Demand and the Digital Recording Archives. In reflection, one of their most important takeaways from this profound experience was being able to work at a large artistic institution in the midst of a cybersecurity breach. For Sesling, this demonstrated the downfalls of outdated software and the dangers of storing too much information on one server. They hope to take what he has learned from this grant opportunity, and apply it to a career in music and large scale technology.
