MORE: Claims about me that you just have to take my word for: (Most positive, some double-edged) * Read a ton of ML papers (for leisure). Do genuinely love the field (afaik). * Worked in 3 different disciplines and took non-traditional route, so have a bit more perspective than the usual junior-ish candidate. Good at explaining CS to non-CS people. * Put in extra effort to be flexible, accommodating and amiable. Take time to gauge people's boundaries. Can come off as formal for a week, until I have judged cultural dos-don't of the circle. Turn into every other fun guy after that. * I am super low ego. Take criticism well. * Love presentations, talking about work and discussions (as my presence on HN may indicate) (to reach a conclusion, not be right) Friends suggested I do management, but like tech more. * Show interest in literally everything, but avoid procrastination by religiously keeping lists and daily rituals. * Like to think I am a fast learner. Proof-ish: have done well (so far) in masters at Top 20 university, despite not having a CS undergrad. What do I not do well: * Leetcode (yet): Clocking in 70 hrs/week (40 hrs work + commute + courses) for the last 4-5 months. No energy to do more work. Taking Winter off, so should be good to with Algos/DS by late Jan. * Consistent over work : Willing to slog it off on weekdays. Want my weekends to unwind. (major breakdown, deadline exceptions apply)
