    Apple folks: Alex has been applying to open positions at Apple, and he is willing relocate to California. But so far, he hasn’t gotten any sort of response. If you want a smart, dedicated developer who’s a fast learner, please check out his resume, which is already in your system!

      I tried to introduce my son, Alex, to programming when he was young. He wasn’t interested. But he eventually found his way to it on his own. By the time Alex graduated high school, he had put his first app into the App Store.

      Now, after 4 years at WPI, Alex has a BS in Computer Science and a Master’s in Data Science, graduating with a perfect 4.0 GPA. (Yes, he received the maximum possible grade in every undergraduate and graduate class he took in all 4 years!)

      We are immensely proud of him! ❤️

                            @rwitherspoon I'm not sure he has the "2+ years" experience you're looking for, but I'll point him to your careers page.

                              @tba He keeps applying to open positions, but he never hears back! (For all I know, he's already applied to this one, but I'll ask.)

                                      @chrisdejabet @siracusa i think he has to go through his blogging and macOS review phases first.

                                        I tried to introduce my son, Alex, to programming when he was young. He wasn’t interested. But he eventually found his way to it on his own. By the time Alex graduated high school, he had put his first app into the App Store.

                                        Now, after 4 years at WPI, Alex has a BS in Computer Science and a Master’s in Data Science, graduating with a perfect 4.0 GPA. (Yes, he received the maximum possible grade in every undergraduate and graduate class he took in all 4 years!)

                                        We are immensely proud of him! ❤️

                                          Also on my mind: my son may be part of the last generation of programmers to have learned to program in the days before LLMs.
