Carrie Vennefron
Chemical Engineer and System Architect
Since beginning my journey in these fields, my dedication to the work and motivation to grow have led me to exceptional projects and experiences. I’m grateful for a profession I’m passionate about, and am proud to share examples of my greatest work. Take a moment to check out my portfolio, and get in touch with any questions.
In high school, I naturally excelled in many of my classes; but I wasn't sure what I wanted to be. I liked chemistry the most out of all my classes, so I decided to pursue a degree from the University of Cincinnati in Chemical Engineering. My first few years were tough as I acclimated to college life.
Nevertheless, I eventually landed an internship at the world's largest chemical manufacturer, BASF. I worked at their Cincinnati site for about 4 months as a Process Laboratory and Quality Control Laboratory technician, then I worked as an Esters Department engineer for about 3 months. Next, I transitioned to their Louisville site for 8 months as a Technical Engineering Services & Manufacturing Process engineer. Finally, I transitioned back to the Cincinnati site for a 3 month rotation in the Business & Marketing Department.
In between my rotations with BASF, I would work as a Teaching Assistant at the University of Cincinnati in the Department of Engineering Education. I would grade, mentor, and assist in teaching freshman engineering students the basics of MATLAB, LabView, VBA, and Python. For my contributions, I was recognized with an official award for "Top Facilitator".
I obtained my Bachelor's of Science in Chemical Engineering with a minor in Chemistry and a Pre-Medicine certificate in April 2020. A month before my graduation, I started an internship with Segue Technologies, Inc. After this 6-month internship, I was hired on full-time as a software developer.
While working at Segue, I became a Pega Certified Senior System Architect, which allowed me to understand the Pega language well enough to create an application. Hearkening back to my chemical engineering experience, the application I created was a tool to guide and assist engineers in creating Process Hazard Analyses.
After working with Segue Technologies for about 3.5 years, I went on to work for Accenture Federal Services beginning in October 2023. I graduated with a Master's of Science in Business Analytics with a Data Science certificate (also from the University of Cincinnati) in April 2024. Also in April 2024, I was selected to receive a Fulbright ETA Scholarship, which I will travel to South Korea to complete in 2025.
