Alumni Network
The Boston College Computer Science Alumni Network was created to connect computer science graduates with fellow alumni, faculty, and students. The network includes a directory of alumni, some of whom have chosen to act as mentors to students looking for advice on career paths or post-graduate studies.
Below is the current list of alumni, background on their work, and contact information. Anyone who wishes to contact a mentor whose information has been marked available upon request may contact the CS Administrator at csadministrator@bc.edu.

regarding classes, skills, software engineering or any other general
questions."
Sam Baxter, baxtersa14@gmail.com
Software Engineer at iZotope Inc.
Sam graduated with a B.S. in Mathematics and a B.A. in Computer Science in 2014
"I would love to answer any questions students may have about the experience of applying to PhD programs in computer science, pursuing graduate studies while working in industry, what it takes to step right into a full time engineering position with no experience, or anything else I can help with. If there are ever CS alumni connection events on campus, I would also be interested in attending to answer questions in person, or even to give a presentation on some of the unique things I've gotten to work on so far in the field. Pretty much any way I can help, I'd be interested in."

"Career advice"
Bob Hatcher,听email available upon request
Principal Salesforce Technical Architect at Imprivata
Bob graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science in 2001
"Imprivata is a Boston company focused on helping healthcare access, communicate and transact business securely and conveniently. We use Salesforce.com as the primary driver for all our business processes at Imprivata. It is my role to understand business requirements and translate them into systems that work for end users. This requires understanding the business as well as all the technical tools at our disposal, both within Salesforce and in other connected systems. It also requires me to use my nontechnical acumen through building relationships, project management, and other disciplines.
While computer science students tend to gravitate to showcasing their technical chops, I think 集美麻豆students are well positioned to be a lot more than a killer developer. Liberal arts students are well rounded and can communicate, and there is a strong and underserved market for technical people who can be an intermediary between businesspeople who want to use enabling technology and technical people who can make it happen. This is the career I've carved out for myself and I am happy to help future students who are interested in that path."

Patrick Kirk,听email available upon request
Manager, Manager, Management Consulting - Pricing and Profitability Management at PwC
Patrick graduated with a B.A. in Computer Science in 2006 and an M.B.A. in 2013
"I came through the CS program, but was never particularly interested in becoming a full time developer. I ended up in a consulting position which required a strong balance of business acumen and technical know-how. In this role, I would be happy to talk to students about the options they have in the consulting world, as well as the importance of being a well-rounded candidate that can speak the business strategy and also know how to execute."
