Anyone want a bit of research/work doing? (3 months free)

5 points by beck5 ↗ HN
Hey guys, lurker here.

I am doing my masters dissertation this summer and looking for topics. I've got a host of things I want to do but I need to put them into context, 'just because its interesting' doesn't cut the mustard. Plus any code I wright the university owns copyright to so id rather keep my pet projects for my personal time.

If anyone is at a company that has a real world problem that they would like looking into but just don't have the time then perhaps I could help! I have 3+ full time months allocated to this so there should be some good results at the end.

I work in Java mainly and do a lot with databases (sql & NoSQL stuff), but I'm not one to say no to something I don't fully know yet.

If anyone is interested please drop me an e-mail.

Thanks

Henry.

Hi Henry

My company offers internships in both the technical and business domain. We are a "hands-on" accelerator, meaning that we provide founders with cash ($100k-$1M usually), facilities & infrastructure, and staff (eng, dev, biz, admin). Our interns are part of the our in-house staff which in turn gets "loaned" to our portfolio projects as needed (e.g. founder has tech skills but needs biz co-founder and a bunch of developers - so we reach in-house to fill those jobs on day 1).

And yes, we solve real problems :)

What sort of project are you looking for ?
I'm always looking to get better at web development so anything to do with that really. Geo location, document storage & retrieval. Im very open so long as I get to learn.
