What school are you at, what year are you in, do you have a github you could link to, do you have a resume to point to, what sort of work would you like to be on?

I understand if you don't want to post this stuff online, but you're not giving people much to work with.

That's a fair point. I'm not entirely comfortable giving that information online, but I'll give as much as I can

I go to a top-2 public university and am in my junior year.

I have a github, but I'd rather not point to it. It contains some smaller projects I've done, as well as contributions to a large Python project and a website I built using Django/MongoDB.

I'm particularly interested in working on Infrastructure/Tools. I'm a huge Python fan and really enjoy backend coding.

I'm curious as to why you're not comfortable giving that information online. Your github is already public, presumably, and possibly your resume (through linkedin) as well. That aside, there doesn't seem to be any downside to maintaining a public presence. In fact, there are numerous benefits. I've had recruiters reach out to me through my public presence on the web.

In addition to this, there are plenty of people on HN that could throw you opportunities. You may want to reconsider posting your experience.
