After getting my computer science degree from Duke in 2015,
I joined Google as a software engineer and co-founded Dancing Pineapple. These first two years in tech and music were filled with a rapid succession of ups and downs,
and plenty of hard-won lessons.

I know that these lessons would have been really useful for me after my own graduation,
so I decided to take some time to share some actionable advice for those of you just starting out in the real world.
