Student seeking suggestion for summer intern in a startup
I am a CS graduate student just came to the US. I have been reading HN for a few month. And I found a lot of intern positions here. Most of them looks fantastic. However, I have no idea about how to find a startup that may be the best fit for me to stay during this summer. Is anyone have some good suggestion? Thank you
I think I am like this:
+ I have a few opensource projects, but not got big at all.
+ I have solid algorithm knowledge that able to address most
problem we may encounter in practice
+ I have good debug skills that learned from experiences
(~150,000 LOC)
+ I have a good taste of writing beautiful code
+ My language proficiency: C > C++ > C# > Python > Java
+ I have a little experience about OpenGL and OpenCV as well as CUDA
+ I am the first group student pass Peter Norvig's Introduction to AI Advanced Track
+ I took Andrew Ng's Machine Learning open class and Sebastian Thrun's
Programming a Robotic Car open class, but haven't really finished them all.
+ I use Vim and Latex. But I like sublime text 2 too
+ I like Machine Learning, Computer Vision and a responsive "Cloud"
+ And I love startup. And even if I am a good self-starter, I asked good questions.
- I hate PHP. And I will never do any stuff in J2EE.
- I don't do iOS and don't like to do UI for that. (But I am currently working
on my independent project with interesting interaction between iPhones)
- I am not interested in JS. I am basically a back front guy.
But, I am interested in WebGL.
- I think data visualization have been went too much to its original
purpose - show (useful) info clearly to readers. What I saw is just
a bunch of fancy and god knows stuff
- I am not a OS geek.
+ HOWEVER, if anything make me excited, all the shits above is not important.
I will do anything to get it out in front of the world.
Thank you again if you read all this. Your response would be very helpful for me.
- gamechangr 14y agoI would suggest that you do not aim to work at a startup (they need generalist that can hit the ground running). Look for a more established company and you will have better results. Hope that helps
- ignitecos 14y agothank you for your reply. Could you provide the reasons that you suggest me to not to work for a startup? Thanks
- gamechangr 14y agoYou could work for a startup for sure, . You mentioned Python, a number of positions are available if you can show previous work in Python. I would recommend in the future posts that you include a github account and/or any way to show previous history (like past employers)
