Preparing for My Internship: Fixing the Portfolio, Writing the Story, and Starting the Hunt
For the past few weeks, I’ve been doing something I’ve postponed for too long:
Getting ready to apply for internships.
After three years of building projects, debugging labs, burning out over thesis deadlines, and pushing my technical limits, it’s time to face a new challenge — the real world.
🛠️ What I’m Working On
Internships don’t just reward skill — they reward clarity.
So here’s how I’m sharpening both:
1. Fixing My Portfolio
- Updating layout, responsiveness, and dark/light mode support
- Cleaning up code, improving loading performance
- Improving project pages (especially LiftTrack) with clearer write-ups
- Adding download options for my resume
- Simplifying the UI for recruiters to scan faster
2. Writing My Blog Story
- Publishing detailed posts for each academic year (first to third)
- Documenting my thesis journey through the LiftTrack series
- Adding a post for my DNS/email setup — because debugging deployment is real work
- Reflecting on what I’ve learned — and what I’m aiming for next
“If a recruiter wants to know how I think, my blog will answer that faster than my resume.”
🧠 Why I Feel Ready Now
I’ve spent the last three years:
- Building full-stack apps using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Firebase, and Vercel
- Developing mobile apps in Flutter and testing iOS builds in Xcode
- Working with Python + AI models, experimenting with LLMs, and shipping custom inference code
- Hosting and maintaining projects across different cloud platforms
- Learning CI/CD, GitHub Actions, and cloud deployment workflows
Now I want to bring all that into a real-world team, learn from engineers in the industry, and contribute something that matters.
🎯 My Internship Goals
- Work with engineers who build things that ship
- Contribute to AI, web, or cloud projects that solve real problems
- Learn how professional teams plan, scale, and collaborate
- Improve my debugging, communication, and review skills in an actual production environment
🚧 Current Status
- ✅ Portfolio redesign complete (Next.js + Tailwind CSS)
- ✅ Blog structure + posts updated
- ✅ Resume ready (PDF + Downloadable)
- 🕐 Currently preparing for active internship applications
- 🎯 Goal: Start sending applications within the week
