To me, the interesting thing about this is that his resume is so... so ordinary. Ordinary in the sense that there are a great many smart graduate students who have done some interesting summer internships, have some neat projects, and are working on publications.

So here we have a guy who, on paper, is basically like any of the rest of us, and he decides to start his own business.

The links on his page aren't there so that he can prove that he is involved in the community so that he could get a phone screen for another job so that he could impress an interviewer with his great whiteboard-tree-manipulation skills. (I mean yes, obviously it is a resume, which serves that purpose, but sans all of the fancy stuff you read about on HN to enhance your professional identity.)

Which, for me, is an affirmation (inspiration?) that maybe rather than spending my time memorizing CLRS or forking another github project in order to build a credential, I should write my own algorithm, create my own github repo, and build not another paper credential but something great.

Thanks for posting!
