Community College to Microsoft Cybersecurity Internship with Carl David | EP. 25

A conversation with Carl David, a rising cybersecurity professional who started as an Incident Response Intern with Microsoft’s world-renowned DART team.

Carl, originally from Rwanda, shares how he broke into the field after studying at Collin College, where I also began my journey.

He’s now making waves as an Intelligence Analyst Intern at Semperis and will be joining USAA as a Cybersecurity Intern in Summer 2025.

We explore Carl's journey of landing his first internship at Microsoft, which subsequently opened doors to two more offers, various certifications, clear college pathways, and career insights.

We also discuss the significance of deliberate networking and developing cybersecurity projects. Additionally, we address the hardships that come with immigration and the obstacles faced by international students, along with strategies for overcoming them.

Carl’s journey serves as a blueprint for aspiring cyber professionals, particularly those starting from humble beginnings.
