The Alumni Awards recognize NAF alumni who have achieved success in either college or career, or have demonstrated entrepreneurial spirit that can be attributed in part to their academy experience.

Such was the case for Gerardo Carranza, who recently became a Software Engineer at Google. Gerardo’s academic success in high school earned him a scholarship to study mechanical engineering at Yale University. Following graduation, Gerardo worked as an engineer at NodeIn Robotics where he worked on projects with aerospace organizations. He currently works at Google as a software engineer on the Pixel Camera Team.
