Jason Hu is a rising senior at Brown University studying computer science and spent his summer internship at MongoDB's Palo Alto office working with the CAP team. He learned more about databases during his onboarding process than in an entire semester of his class, finding it fascinating to see the challenges outside of coding. As an engineering intern, Jason faced the challenge of adapting and learning on the fly, figuring out whether a problem is feasible, what the solution looks like, and whether it's worth his time. Despite this, he enjoyed working on actual projects, which taught him loads about databases beyond just how to use them. In his free time, Jason enjoys bike rides, playing games, and baking, and hopes to combine his interests through coding in the future.
