I am a computer science student who will be joining LinkedIn India as an SRE Intern during summer 2020.
I am awed by the extent to which computers and programming touch human lives and shape the world around us. My curious nature and the fact that I can virtually change the world with my code is what attracted me to this field and what keeps me going.
The most complicated project that I have ever worked on is my Google Summer of Code project. Coming from a frontend background, I had to adapt and learn a lot about backend development, microservices, testing, etc. while working on it. I realized that it is easy to refer to tutorials and build play projects, but that is not the case with real-world projects that are used by real people.
