Rough OCR:
This little pony went to in He graduated with highest honors and even received a departmental award for academic excellence! While at he cultivated an ongoing love for…
Computer Science & Mathematics!
For two years he worked as a tutor for the Computer Science department. He loves passing on his knowledge and getting everyone excited about computer science!
One summer he worked for the National Institute of Standards and Technology. He developed an online tool for analyzing thermal neutron triple-axis spectrometry data. He even had his very own nuclear reactor to play with!
The next year he had an Extreme Blue internship with IBM. He worked with a team of interns at the Almaden Research Center to develop technology related to online shopping. But he’s not allowed to talk about it too much! (He signed a non-disclosure)

The daily plough just wasn’t for him though, so he threw off the bit and bridle and galloped back to He still does contract work for on other companies on occasion, and in the fall he’ll be heading off to a computer science Ph.D. program at the University of Washington!
The adventure is far from over… What will this little pony do next, who knows??

This resume is far from a little silliness. It punched through silliness and came out the other side, making you question wtf the creator is thinking. Are they sabotaging their own job application intentionally? Are they so deep into the pony stuff that they think it’s normal?
