Sergey Brin Resume (1996)

Contra all the chuckleheads making jokes about him never getting hired anywhere today, this is actually an extremely impressive resume for a third-year graduate student. He had a sole-author publication in a top conference already!

I would hire him.<p>BS in mathematics and computer science. He has a solid foundation. He graduated with honors in both too. Great.<p>Parallel algorithms, 3D routines, C on a machine with 16384 processors in 1990. Many people didn&#x27;t even know multiple processors where a thing back then.<p>Portable C++ library in 1992. C++, plus thinking of portability. This was a big deal back then, a lot of people where not even on the C++ train then, mostly C. The C++ might have given me a pause. :D<p>Developed scheduling algorithms. Scheduling is hard. Developing hard algorithms is good, we have a problem solver.<p>Latex to HTML converter. Translating from one language to another is pretty much compiling.

Being born in Aug 1973, he started university at 16 and did the Mathematica code analysis and extraction tool at 19. I expected to see an extreme prodigy but that&#x27;s still a fast start and he only got faster.

Damn I&#x27;m not seeing any Java experience how on earth does he expect to get a job? And how did he find work at all those companies without them thinking he was just going to work there for a bit before he was stolen from them by Google? Guess I&#x27;ll go back down to begging Subway for a job.

Frightening how little I have achieved in the same time frame, despite trying.

There&#x27;s no denying he was a very intelligent individual even before google :)

&quot;I worked on a project with Hector Garcia-Molina involving automated detection of copyright violations. Together with James Davis (another Ph.D. student here), we developed COPS , the COpyright Protection System.&quot; Sergey Brin.- <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;infolab.stanford.edu&#x2F;~sergey&#x2F;copy.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;infolab.stanford.edu&#x2F;~sergey&#x2F;copy.html</a><p>He did a lot of work on data mining, web indexing and other web related works. It is interesting.

Apparently this is Larry Page&#x27;s Stanford page <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;infolab.stanford.edu&#x2F;~page&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;infolab.stanford.edu&#x2F;~page&#x2F;</a>

I&#x27;ll admit it, I most likely wouldn&#x27;t have called to interview him... he never had a job before (at least none on his resume). Admittedly, I&#x27;m not trying to change the world. I&#x27;m just trying to do better than my competition for my customers. I don&#x27;t need an academic on the payroll. I&#x27;m glad that resume didn&#x27;t come across my desk. I wouldn&#x27;t have know what to do with him and would certainly wold be kicking myself now.

Hey... movie ratings! Pre-netflix.

Sorry Sergey, you&#x27;ll never make it past the automated HR filter with that.

It&#x27;s surprising that emails were few enough then that a student might get a firstname@domain email.

Movie Ratings TO Page Rank

Is there a mirror of the movie rating website?

A PhD in two years?

Mind blown.

Wow, this page loads fast. I bet he&#x27;s using Google AMP.
