Yeah, still in school (3rd year). I have intern experience, but it seems like these type of positions are way too advanced for me at the moment. Just unsure how to progress...
Makes sense ? Another project you may look at is https://github.com/phaistos-networks/Trinity which is a library and should be simpler than a whole framework/db (trinity is like lucene/rocksdb compared to full-db cassandra/scylladb).
