My journey with internships started at a small startup. From there, I joined different teams like an open-source organisation, a solo project, bigger startups, and even Apple. I learned a lot during these times.

One big lesson? The power of making friends and connections, especially on places like X (formerly Twitter).

This book is about all I did in my four years of college.

I tried many things: some worked, some did not. I want to share it all with you. If you are looking for your dream internship, I hope my experiences can help.


Happy reading, and best of luck in finding your next internship!
