Deploying dreams: An inside look at a summer internship with Vercel

** As an intern at Vercel, Aryan had a unique opportunity to work on high-traffic and high-visibility apps, contributing to the core product and making it into Production. He led three major efforts, including improving the Support Center UX, implementing citations in the new v0 generative user interface system, and creating v0 Brain - a way to seamlessly bring internal Vercel insights and recommendations directly from the creators of React, Next.js, shadcn/ui, Turbo, SWC, and more to further supplement v0's knowledge. Aryan learned how to work in engineering at scale, communicate his ideas effectively, exercise "design engineering" muscles, and advanced LLM techniques. He also gained valuable soft skills such as working in public, communicating clearly and effectively, pairing programming, iterating to greatness, and managing up. With immense autonomy and support from his manager and colleagues, Aryan was motivated every day knowing his work would impact Vercel's millions of global users. His experience at Vercel was a dream come true, and he is now sharing this behind-the-scenes look at what an internship at Vercel is like.
