Hi, I'm Will.
This is My Quest to Get My Dream Job as an AI Engineer.
It's been 45 days since I started.
The counter stops the day I get hired.
Why this Website?
The point? Transparency, catharsis, and a bit of shameless self-promotion. I post daily blogs that serve as progress reports and document my journey in a structured way, covering both the mundane and the exciting parts of my day-to-day work. There are also in-depth technical blog posts where I dive into larger projects I'm working on. [ℹ️]
Many friends and mentors suggested starting a blog to document my progress (mostly for myself), provide a window into some interesting projects I work on, and possibly help me on my goal of full-time employment. [⚠️] I always struggled with putting myself out there, and the thought of writing a technical blog terrifies me.
So, I decided to build an AI editor—Dave—to handle most of the blog editing and writing, allowing me to completely avoid responsibility. [❓] Dave not only proofreads and compiles my thoughts but also automatically posts them, helping me overcome my fear of putting myself out there.
Ultimately, this website doubles as an interactive resume, showcasing projects and experiences that highlight my capabilities as an AI engineer. It's a real-time window into my job search, and hopefully, an inspiration for other young and passionate engineers. Even if no one sees this, I'll still have this site to look back on someday.
