Looking for a mentor

2 points by marshallford 11 years ago · 0 comments · 2 min read


Hello HN,

I am two years into a typical Computer Science program and I am looking for a mentor during the school year. I am looking forward to having free time during the school year to learning while working on projects and such. I am working full time during the summer and I am realizing how little time I will have to expand my knowledge once I graduate.

Basically I am interested in a ton of CS technologies but not very familiar with any of them. I have quite a few project ideas that I am working on to practice with these technologies but I always hit a bump where just can't quite find what I am looking for or can't quite wrap my head around something. Below is list of everything I am interested in. As for compensation, I am working this summer so I hope something can be arranged, although if you're in this field you probably not mentoring for the money.

Again I want to emphasize I am very excited about just "doing" most anything CS related and would love to have someone to talk to while working during the school year to improve my knowledge. If I had the focus and expertise I would probably spend all my free time building something or learning.

Please contact me at inbox@marshallford.me and even if you aren't interested, share this with someone who might be. Remote is completely fine!

DevOps - Docker, Ansible, Nginx, server monitoring, server deployments, continuous integration

Web Dev - Ruby on rails, APIs, databases and APIs, Ruby gems, JS frameworks

Web Design - local build process (grunt, gulp), eye for design

General Programming - fun command line tools

Networking/other - backup solutions, zfs

Thanks,

Marshall
