Hey everyone! I'm Dhyan Bellary, a third-year Computer Science student. I've recently started learning Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) and DevOps, but I feel a bit overwhelmed and lost. I'm on the lookout for internships, even unpaid ones, where I can gain practical, hands-on experience while I figure out what I should focus on next.
Are there any platforms, programs, or open-source projects that would be suitable for beginners like me to start contributing or learning? Any tips or resources you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hey! It seems like you’re not the only one asking about internships in this space—lots of people are in the same boat! But seriously, the best thing you can do is start getting practical experience. Try to set up a home lab or use a cloud provider like DigitalOcean to create your own servers. Focus on sharpening your Linux skills and learn scripting, then dive into tools like Terraform, CI/CD, and containers.
Check out these helpful resources: [DevOps Roadmap](https://roadmap.sh/devops) and [DevOps Daily](https://devops-daily.com/roadmap) for a clearer learning path. Certificates can help too, if that interests you.
Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely check those resources out.
