Meet Michael Kemakolam. Michael is pursuing a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence for Business at the University of Baltimore and is expected to graduate in May 2027. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance from the University of Baltimore in 2025. Michael is interested in business analysis, finance, and operations, and is seeking a business analyst internship in Baltimore or remotely, where he can turn complex data into clear recommendations. He can start immediately, is available for spring, summer, or fall terms, and is open to on-site, hybrid, or remote roles anywhere in the United States.
Michael brings analytics experience across energy, banking, and state government. As a Business Analyst at Baltimore Gas and Electric, he built Power BI dashboards to track program KPIs and budgets. He also created an AI research tool that answers regulatory questions in under 10 seconds and presented it to the company’s Vice President. He has also worked as a Financial Services Analyst at Bank of America and as a Business Analyst Intern with the Maryland Department of General Services, where he helped cut document retrieval time by about 30%.
Before moving into analytics, Michael spent four years as a Regional Operations Manager, leading five restaurant locations and more than 70 employees. Under his leadership, the business grew revenue 20% within one year, and he cut documented order errors from 25% to 3% within three months by introducing new procedures, training, and quality checks. His toolkit includes Excel (PivotTables, VLOOKUP, and Power Query), Power BI, Python, and Power Automate, along with strengths in requirements gathering, process documentation, and presenting findings to leadership.
Outside the classroom, Michael founded the Johns Hopkins Area Soccer Group, which has grown to more than 3,500 members, and has served as President of the African Student Union and Vice President of the Student Government Association. In every role, he enjoys bringing people together and turning plans into results. Long-term, he aims to lead teams that use artificial intelligence to solve real business problems.
