Why I built this site
I built this site because I remember how confusing the Computer Science path felt early on, especially when it seemed like everyone else already knew what to do. I spent a lot of time feeling behind, guessing, and learning the hard way.
I do not want you to waste that same time.
My goal with this website is simple: make the path clearer, share what helped me, and give you practical steps you can actually follow.
Where I started
Computer Science was not my first passion. I originally liked marketing and business, and coding felt too technical and structured for me. In high school, I did the minimum in programming classes and did not take it seriously.
When I got to college and committed to Computer Science, that lack of interest caught up to me. Freshman year was rough. My grades were not great, and I did not feel confident in what I was learning. By spring semester, I was close to failing multiple classes, and I honestly felt stuck.
What changed
At the same time, I was constantly trying different business ideas. I had energy, but it was spread out everywhere.
A friend of mine gave me advice that helped a lot: if I wanted more options later, I needed to build a strong foundation first. That meant taking school seriously, improving my skills, and learning how to present myself well.
That summer, I started putting in consistent effort. I tried courses, small projects, and different tools. A lot of it did not click right away, but enough did to start building momentum. More importantly, I learned how progress actually works: small steps, repeated for long enough, add up.
What I learned from the process
After that, I focused on doing better in classes and being more intentional about career prep. I improved my resume, refined my LinkedIn, and applied to internships consistently. I made mistakes, got rejected, adjusted, and kept going.
I also realized I needed more time and energy to do this well, so I switched to a campus job that gave me more flexibility. It was not glamorous, but it made the process sustainable.
Eventually, I earned an internship. I do not say that as proof that I am special, I say it because I used to believe it was out of reach. It was not. It just required a clearer plan and consistent execution.
I got internships from Verizon, then Apple.
Now, I have multiple full-time offers from top companies like Apple, Verizon, Fidelity, and Raytheon.
What you can expect here
This site is for CS students who want a practical playbook, not vague advice.
You will find step-by-step guides on:
- Getting internships with little or no experience
- Building projects that actually help your resume
- Writing stronger resume bullet points and improving LinkedIn
- Preparing for technical and behavioral interviews
- Networking in a way that feels normal and respectful
If you are trying to improve your situation, I hope this site helps you move faster and feel less lost.
If you ever feel behind, just remember: you do not need to do everything at once. You only need the next step.
