Bio

Trenton Johnson was attracted to the INI’s great flexibility and course selections. “My classes included a delicious gumbo of computer science and general tech topics,” he said, including parallel computing, data visualization, iPad development, web application development and machine learning.

Trenton also appreciated the diverse and international student population. “The world gets smaller every year thanks to technology, and the importance of being internationally savvy is one of the great takeaways from my time at CMU,” he said. “Notions of race, color and ethnicity fade away when it’s time to get work done on a team.”

He graduated from the bicoastal mobility program in 2013 and today he's a senior member of the technical staff at Salesforce.

“I wanted to be fluent in the design and creation of software at all consumer levels,” Trenton explained in an interview for Diversity Careers Magazine.
