I'm not going to hold you. All you have to do is tell me that you're studying engineering and immediately, I got you. You need help coming up with coding projects, resume review, how to deal with the tough professor, if you should use AI, what coding and software fundamentals you need to understand to land an internship. I get it. Times are tough. School is starting. We need internships, good grades. We need to get on it. We need to get on it. So I'm here to help. I've been there, reviewed hundreds and hundreds of resumes. I've been on the other side as a professional software engineer, so I know what companies are looking for. I sit within an organization right now, identifying how best we can help generation, the next generation of engineers. So I'm a resource for you because I wish that I had a resource when I was coming up. So I got you. Let me know.
