There are so many things you can do to get exposure and experience. Like andrewwhillman mentioned, spending time at local hotspots is a good starting point, but there are so many more things to do. Ping me via email (in my profile) and I would be more than happy to give you additional ideas. I've lived in Palo Alto, San Mateo and spend a significant amount of time in SF. Best of luck.
