Looking for a mentor

2 pointsby marshallfordalmost 10 years ago
Hello HN,<p>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.<p>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&#x27;t quite find what I am looking for or can&#x27;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&#x27;re in this field you probably not mentoring for the money.<p>Again I want to emphasize I am very excited about just &quot;doing&quot; 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.<p>Please contact me at inbox@marshallford.me and even if you aren&#x27;t interested, share this with someone who might be. Remote is completely fine!<p>DevOps - Docker, Ansible, Nginx, server monitoring, server deployments, continuous integration<p>Web Dev - Ruby on rails, APIs, databases and APIs, Ruby gems, JS frameworks<p>Web Design - local build process (grunt, gulp), eye for design<p>General Programming - fun command line tools<p>Networking&#x2F;other - backup solutions, zfs<p>Thanks,<p>Marshall
