I could write about all the technical details of my internships, but that's what my resume is for. I think it's more interesting to talk about other things I've learned during my internships.
My gig at Texas Instruments was my first ever internship. Thus, I was actually woefully prepared for it. But as it turns out, not much is actually expected of a college sophomore.
I learned a multitude of things that summer, not the least of which was that Dallas people don't know how to drive. The true rigidness of a corporate job was also somewhat gently instilled within me.
I learned about deadlines, sprints, how badly internal tools are documented; But perhaps most importantly, I learned how to survive this jungle.
Second times the charm; DV at Qualcomm! This was a big boy internship. I was ready to get things done, network, and conquer the world. What I was actually met with was a mostly empty office,
a natural consequence of a 3 day WFH schedule. This desolation of course doesn't speak to the technical rigor of the internship, but perhaps resulted in me working with more independance than
I would have liked. Incidentally, this was also the summer I truly fell in love with Austin. I was at a somewhat tumultuous time in my life, and with relatively more free time on hand compared
to during the semester, I turned to exploring the city, which kept me grounded.
I accepted a gig with Arm for this summer. Unbeknownst to me at the time, this is located in San Diego. Therefore I shall soon make the pilgrimage to California, the state of contraversies.
Perhaps I will remember to update this page afterwards, when I need to find a real j*b.
