This past year I was unable to attain a corporate internship for the summer. Being surrounded by peers who had a successful recruiting season felt depressing at times, but I believe there is an upside to every downside! This summer is "Year of Improvement: Summer Edition", an extension of the new year's resolution list I made in January. Aside from working on projects as a summer program assistant with the CMU CES team, here are some things I am working on in my down time: 1) Learning how to code with Python 💻✨ This will become the second programming language I know, but the first I attempt learn completely during my personal time. I'm very grateful for the python community online for providing resources, and my own friend Natalie G. for answering my long list questions as I learn. I hope that by the end of the summer I am able to begin a project that could put my skills to the test. 2) Expand on my semester long research project 📃🖋📊 Last year I had the pleasure to work on a research project detailing strategies to cool NYC’s low income communities, an important subject with deep personal ties. At the time I had to work with a very limited dataset I collected from surveys to peers. This summer I am hoping to put my R skills to analyze city data, in hopes of increasing the impact of my research. 3) Doing Mock Interviews 👩🏽💼📹🗣 As someone who practiced many times throughout the semester with the help of CMU's CPDC, I can attest to practice increasing your confidence both in the interview room and out. I like to think of it as the process of getting to know yourself very well. For anyone else who struggles with interviewing like I do, I recommend filming yourself answering questions if you don't have a partner to practice with. You end up capturing a lot of your habits! And last but not least, 4) Practicing my Japanese 🗾 Many of those who are close to me may know that I've actually taken 3 semesters worth of Japanese here at CMU. Having not put much use of the language, I've grown rusty. Looking ahead to my trip abroad next year, I am hoping to ease into studying daily and regaining my proficiency. I hope that by summer's end I am an improved version of myself, have an internship in hand, and ready to brave into the start of my penultimate year. Here is a pic I snapped during one of my outdoor work sessions:

#StriversSDESheet Challenge - Day 58 Problems Solved: 1 1. Kth element of 2 sorted arrays -- https://lnkd.in/e635iPPZ Approach 1: Use 2 pointer approach Take a pointer ‘i’ on array 1 and pointer ‘j’ on array 2 and assign the minimum of these two pointers for each person. When you assign, make sure to remove that plate from the row, I mean if pointer ‘i’ is pointing to a smaller value than pointer ‘j’, make sure to do i++. Once we reach the kth person, return the current laddo. Make sure to check for cases where you have exhausted one row completely (just like in merge procedure of merge sort) Time: O(m+n) Space: O(1) That's it for the day! Enjoy your night 🙂 #leetcode #problemsolving #striversa2zdsa #dsa #internship

🌟 Excited to share a recent task I completed during my internship at Pinnacle Labs! 🚀 I developed a Currency Converter using Java, enabling users to convert amounts between different currencies seamlessly. This task allowed me to enhance my coding skills and gain experience with APIs for real-time currency exchange rates.

Today our summer intern asked me to review some code to process multiple pages of records. His comment was along the lines of "the code works, but I think it's a little ugly and could be better". The code was generally fine and well structured. However there was some duplication of code to get the first page of records. Quickly I was able to share some advice on how it could be re-written to use less code and removed any duplication. It's easy when you have 25+ years of experience to write efficient code. However when you're starting out you are in a good position if you know how to identify that there could be a better approach and aren't afraid to ask for advice. If you want your development team to be great, take the time to share your experience.

For Prodigy Info Tech software development internship task 4, I developed a Sudoku grid solver in C++ using backtracking concepts. The program checks the possibility of adding a number to a specific position and solves the puzzle using a backtracking algorithm. This project enhanced my problem-solving and algorithmic skills.

On the final day of our internship at EMGlitz Technology, we worked on building a fully functional calculator application capable of performing basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. This project was a culmination of all the concepts we had learned throughout the internship, from design to programming. Using Android Studio, we created a simple yet efficient user interface where buttons for numbers and operations were placed logically for ease of use. The main challenge lay in coding the logic behind the operations using Java, ensuring that the calculator handled user input correctly and performed accurate calculations. We also incorporated features like real-time display updates and error handling, particularly for situations like dividing by zero. This task not only helped reinforce our understanding of mobile app development but also enhanced our problem-solving skills, as we had to debug and refine the app to ensure it functioned smoothly. It was a rewarding project that marked the perfect conclusion to our internship journey. Sri Krishna College of Technology

Why P-TECH High School in Brooklyn may be future of U.S. economy https://lnkd.in/efnWMVWV 1st Pathways in Technology Early College High School IBM skills-based paid internships took place summer 2014 with just P-TECH Brooklyn Summer 2024 well beyond just one school and one city and Fall High School and College Co-Ops with IBM MDRC P-TECH 9-14 Pathways to Success Implementation, Impact, and Cost Findings from the New York City P-TECH 9-14 Schools Evaluation New findings in this report indicate that the P-TECH model increased students' postsecondary degree completion, particularly for male students, and boosted internship and dual enrollment rates, even during the pandemic. "By the end of the first year of postsecondary education, 2.6 percent of female and 1.8 percent of male P-TECH 9-14 students had earned degrees, compared with virtually no students from the comparison group, of either gender. These impacts for both genders are statistically significant". "Male students who had the chance to attend P-TECH 9-14 schools were more likely to attain college degrees than male students assigned to other kinds of schools". https://lnkd.in/e54rSYKT www.ptech.org
