This summer at Realtor.com, a coding project became a proving ground where two interns and their mentor discovered what’s possible when talent meets opportunity. Senior Engineer Michael Zbeetnoff and interns Neil Tendolkar and Micah Chen became “Team Ollie” and took on two high-impact projects for the Avail team: migrating Avail’s code base email system to SendGrid and contributing the first component builds for Avail’s upcoming web app redesign. The project required Michael to step into his first full-fledged team lead role. He learned to coordinate across marketing, design, and engineering, and lead Neil and Micah as they explored unfamiliar tech stacks, honed their collaboration skills, and left their mark on Avail’s product evolution.
