My high-school internship at Red Hat

on YouTube ↗08m

" summary

One and a half years of high‑school internship work centers on automating RPM upgrades by extending rebase-helper automation: starts with small bugfixes, adds plugins, improves terminal D output and passes CI. Work uses Python and Docker, introduces unit tests, and produces several simple RPM packages plus a school thesis. Collaboration runs on weekly office visits, pull requests and code review; contributions land upstream and the tools built actually run in packaging workflows.
