From Scratch to Google Internship: My 3-Month Journey Begins!

Hey everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹,

I'm Reenmayee, a 2nd-year BTech Computer Science student, and today marks Day 1 of a journey Iโ€™ve been dreaming about for a while:

๐Ÿง  To explore CUDA Computing + Generative AI and
๐Ÿ’ผ Land a Google Internship in the future.

๐Ÿงฉ Where Iโ€™m Starting From
โœ… Just completed one basic ML course on YouTube

๐Ÿšซ No experience with CUDA

๐Ÿšซ No major AI projects yet

โœ… But 100% committed to learning everything from scratch

๐Ÿง  What Iโ€™ll Be Learning
Over the next 3 months, Iโ€™ll focus on:

CUDA Programming โ€“ Learning how to leverage GPUs to accelerate computation

Generative AI โ€“ Understanding and using models like GPT, BERT, and Stable Diffusion

Building a Real Project โ€“ Combining CUDA + GenAI into something powerful

Writing & Sharing โ€“ Blogging weekly here to track and reflect on my progress

๐Ÿ“… My Strategy (in Simple Terms)
Learn something new every week

Build small, focused projects

Share everything: the wins, the struggles, the breakthroughs

๐Ÿ’ก Why Iโ€™m Blogging
I donโ€™t want to just consume content. I want to:

  • Stay accountable
  • Help others who are also starting out
  • Look back one day and say, โ€œThis is how it all started!โ€

โœ… Whatโ€™s Next?
This week, Iโ€™m diving into:

The basics of CUDA via the Udacity Intro to Parallel Programming course

A refresher on PyTorch for GenAI work

I'll be sharing my learnings, resources, and mini-projects soon โ€” so follow along if you're on a similar path! ๐Ÿš€

Letโ€™s connect:
Feel free to share your thoughts, tips, or if you're on a similar journey, letโ€™s grow together! ๐Ÿ’ฌ
