Shritesh is a foreign national from Nepal, and came to the United States in 2015 to pursue his masters. He had a penchant for two things: entrepreneurship and mentorship—two pursuits he wanted to continue in the United States, a place he saw limitless in opportunities.
After getting selected for The Build Fellowship by Open Avenues, Shritesh created an industry-based project through his company, Remix Labs where he was assigned a Queens College student named Wilber. An aspiring software engineer with a passion for coding and gaming, Wilber brought a fresh, technical perspective to the no-code software platform Remix Labs operates on. His dedication, above-and-beyond approach and work ethic did not go unnoticed. Shritesh was so impressed by his work, that Wilber became the first junior-level, no-interview hire. Mentoring Wilber and witnessing his growth reinforced the gratifying experience of guiding future tech talents.
The internship at Remix Labs was great for someone like me who wanted to get into programming in the tech space.
During the internship, I got exposure to the Remix Labs platform and all of its functionalities. The platform itself is a no-code tool used to build out applications. I also learned how to design the flow of an app process data in a programming environment. Shritesh was such a smart and approachable project leader, and helped me every step of the way. He was my biggest advocate and got me a job as a Product Engineer position at the company—with no interview! He believed in me that much! Though I’m not working on his team, I still consider him my mentor. He’s the reason I was able to start my career.”
