Project

I spent the summer revising GitHub Desktop documentation. This was a collaborative effort across teams, so I had the opportunity to work with docs, engineering, support, and product.

What Surprised You Most About GitHub?

I was surprised by how close I felt to people whom I never met in person. Even though I don’t know how tall anyone on my team is, I got to know them very well on a more personal level.

Something Awesome About Interning Remotely

I did not plan to intern during a global pandemic, but I couldn’t have been anywhere better than GitHub during this unusual time. My team and the entire company are remote-first veterans, so I don’t think I missed out on anything other than the social aspect of being in SF for the summer.

Favorite Slack Channel

#pittsburgh is small, but mighty. Big shout out to everyone there for recommending awesome restaurants and helping navigate the insanity of the PA Department of Transportation.
