CardSpring

CardSpring Logo

I was a Software Engineering Extern at CardSpring during IAP (January) 2013 in San Francisco, CA.

Motivation

The purpose of IAP is to try something you would not normally do. The last 2 internships I had done were on the business side, so I wanted to try something on the software engineering side. Also, I didn't have much time during the semester to learn the latest systems. For example: NoSQL, AWS, Ruby, and Rails. My goal for IAP was to get much better at those things, and to become acquainted with the community in San Francisco. I was lucky to be selected to work with CardSpring over IAP. It was my first time working at a real engineering-driven organization. The CTO ran cryptography at Netscape while the SSL standard was bring set.
