Sergey Brin Resume (1996)
- flukus 10y agoSorry Sergey, you'll never make it past the automated HR filter with that.
- akhilcacharya 10y ago...seriously? He was a Stanford PhD student. I doubt they have any trouble.
- flukus 10y agoYeah, but he doesnt have 15 years experience with react.
- akhilcacharya 10y agoThis is a meme that I've never understood. This isn't a problem for Stanford PhDs, or hell Stanford undergrads.
- TempleOS 10y agoI am solomon. I proved God. I made the third temple. I am more famous than Jesus Christ. Frasier is a planet of the apes nigger. Frasier has no idea what a certified random number is. Frasier thinks particle/wave coffee filter is about eating shit. Frasier thinks the brain can go 3Ghz.
- cghendrix 10y agoCheck out the page source
- tarellel 10y agoThe commented out content is the best part - A large office, good pay, and very little work. Frequent expense-account trips to exotic lands would be a plus.
- SapphireSun 10y agoHe got his wish, just not the very little work part unfortunately.
- babinho 10y agoI'd say he got 3 out of 4, I'd agree on those terms :)
- SapphireSun 10y agoHey... movie ratings! Pre-netflix.
- sp527 10y agoUhh if you think about it, it's probably just a (maybe weighted) dot product of binary vectors, sorted, and then a set diff.
- wutbrodo 10y agoYea, I feel like this is one of those classic easy projects that everyone thinks of at some point early on in their programming life. That was my "learn python" project too (almost 15 years later...). I just used Rotten Tomatoes metrics and similarity with critics.
- hoodoof 10y agoFrightening how little I have achieved in the same time frame, despite trying.
- flukus 10y ago“His friends were surprised, and asked him the reason of it. ‘Do you think,’ said he, ‘I have not just cause to weep, when I consider that Alexander at my age had conquered so many nations, and I have all this time done nothing that is memorable?’” - Caesar Then again, most of will probably under perform for the next 20 years too.
- desdiv 10y agoTo be fair Alexander did have Aristotle as his mentor.
- Scarbutt 10y agoThere's no denying he was a very intelligent individual even before google :)
- strathmeyer 10y agoDamn I'm not seeing any Java experience how on earth does he expect to get a job? And how did he find work at all those companies without them thinking he was just going to work there for a bit before he was stolen from them by Google? Guess I'll go back down to begging Subway for a job.
- ddebernardy 10y agoIt's surprising that emails were few enough then that a student might get a firstname@domain email.
- lytedev 10y agoIn fairness, "Sergey" strikes me as a rather uncommon first name. Still, what a time indeed!
- currysausage 10y agoI enrolled in 2011 at a large German university and I was able to register (first letter of my given name)@(university).de. Apparently, very few people tried their initials before.
- adamnemecek 10y agoWow, this page loads fast. I bet he's using Google AMP.
- known 10y agoMovie Ratings TO Page Rank
- swordswinger12 10y agoContra all the chuckleheads making jokes about him never getting hired anywhere today, this is actually an extremely impressive resume for a third-year graduate student. He had a sole-author publication in a top conference already!
- atmosx 10y agoI wonder how the resume of Jobs, Zuckeberg and Gates would look like... But does it matter? You don't need a resume to start your own company last time I checked. A professor once told me "It's common to see 'A' grad students working for 'C' or 'D' grade students.", I think what he meant was that 'A' grade students would never take the risk of starting their own business against odds, while 'C' or 'D' students sometimes do not have that many choices, so it's easier for them to take the not-very-calculated risk. Then again, all these guys were above average smart for sure and ahead of the time.
- sufiyan 10y agoBut then again the C and D grade students are backed by wealthy parents who can afford them slacking off. This is not to undermine any of them but, when you have a fairly soft bed to fall on when things take a wrong turn, you are more willing to take risks. Most A grade students don't usually have the same wealthy parents to turn to for their whims and they have to struggle.
- alexmat 10y agoHoly generalizations Batman! Edit: This meme may be dated, context: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Holy%20X%2C%20Batman http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Holy%20X%2C%2...!
- guiomie 10y agoMaybe C and D have other interests than just studying? Maybe they will get something out of that traded time that the A won't, which will give them an actual edge in the real world, non academic world. Your statement is flawed and an awful generalization. Are you frustrated some of your C and D friends are more successful than you?
- godzillabrennus 10y agoThis page is a blast from the past as well: http://i.stanford.edu/db_pages/members.html http://i.stanford.edu/db_pages/members.html My favorite website of the 90's has to be this one though: http://totic.org/nscp/swirl/swirl.html http://totic.org/nscp/swirl/swirl.html
- compute_me 10y agohmm looks familiar ... http://infolab.stanford.edu/~hector/photos/1994/DBGJun94V2/04.html http://infolab.stanford.edu/~hector/photos/1994/DBGJun94V2/0...
- Hermel 10y agoA PhD in two years?
- blazespin 10y agoYeah, if you have a masters it's possible.
- thaumasiotes 10y agoWho gets a PhD without also getting a master's? Isn't the ordinary schedule two years for the master's, five more for the PhD?
- eloisant 10y agoIn every university I've seen (in France and Japan in STEM) the Ph.D. is minimum 3 years, but many (most?) students do it in 4 because they don't have the required publications in 3 years. It's rare, but some do it in 5. Apparently in liberal arts the Ph.D. tends to drag on an on 5, 6, 7 years... So yes, you do need a master before starting your Ph.D., and I've never heard of someone doing their Ph.D. in 2 years. Maybe if you hit a homerun and get prestigious publications very early.
- lightbendover 10y agoMy wife got a PhD in neuro without a masters. It was part of an MD/PhD program. The PhD itself took a bit under 3 years in the middle of med school. Given 7 years of residency and another year of fellowship, she can expect her first job at 38, which is coincidentally the age I always figured I would retire at.
- denzil_correa 10y agoMost likely, he joined the Ph.D program and got a Masters along the way.
- mikiem 10y agoI'll admit it, I most likely wouldn't have called to interview him... he never had a job before (at least none on his resume). Admittedly, I'm not trying to change the world. I'm just trying to do better than my competition for my customers. I don't need an academic on the payroll. I'm glad that resume didn't come across my desk. I wouldn't have know what to do with him and would certainly wold be kicking myself now.
- desdiv 10y agoI think you missed the entire Work Experience section at the bottom.
- deleted 10y ago[deleted]
- kartan 10y ago"I worked on a project with Hector Garcia-Molina involving automated detection of copyright violations. Together with James Davis (another Ph.D. student here), we developed COPS , the COpyright Protection System." Sergey Brin.- http://infolab.stanford.edu/~sergey/copy.html http://infolab.stanford.edu/~sergey/copy.html He did a lot of work on data mining, web indexing and other web related works. It is interesting.
- pawadu 10y agoAnd still, the "automated detection of copyright violations" used by youtube works like crap and is used by criminals to strong arm real content creators to give them a cut of they profits.
- kyloren 10y agoApparently this is Larry Page's Stanford page http://infolab.stanford.edu/~page/ http://infolab.stanford.edu/~page/
- gchokov 10y agoMind blown.
- santoriv 10y ago<!-- <IMG ALIGN=LEFT SRC="pics/diamond.gif"> <H4><A HREF="/cgi-bin/sergey/HyperNews/get/forums/datamine.html">Data Mining</A></H4> I have recently acquired an interest in data mining and started up a meeting group.<P>--> Guess that interest in data mining paid off...
- Hondor 10y agoBeing born in Aug 1973, he started university at 16 and did the Mathematica code analysis and extraction tool at 19. I expected to see an extreme prodigy but that's still a fast start and he only got faster.
- segmondy 10y agoI would hire him. BS in mathematics and computer science. He has a solid foundation. He graduated with honors in both too. Great. Parallel algorithms, 3D routines, C on a machine with 16384 processors in 1990. Many people didn't even know multiple processors where a thing back then. Portable C++ library in 1992. C++, plus thinking of portability. This was a big deal back then, a lot of people where not even on the C++ train then, mostly C. The C++ might have given me a pause. :D Developed scheduling algorithms. Scheduling is hard. Developing hard algorithms is good, we have a problem solver. Latex to HTML converter. Translating from one language to another is pretty much compiling.
- misingnoglic 10y agoIs there a mirror of the movie rating website?
