Not to say he doesn't have it, but creating a site like this basically requires finding a similar one and learning what classes to put into your bootstrap markup.
Your page looks great, the photo is really nice and the mailto title is a nice touch. I should've thought about submitting to HN too :) http://simon-schraeder.de/summer/
Brilliant work. I wish I had your skills at 19. The photography and design mesh perfectly well together. I bet you will have no problem getting to the USA to study and work.
For work - what about H1B visa? Even if a company agrees to go through the process, he still has a slim chance of getting the visa, right? I am just trying to familiarise myself to the process since I will be going through it next year.
This is awesome. I'm not in CA, but I hope a team over there picks you up.
* Wire clothing - there are a billion clothing brands with wire in the name, which one is yours?
* VIDBY - google search shows nothing in first 3 pages.
* Mobile App - where can I see it?
* upload.it - URL definitely does not resolve to the site pictured.
* School Site - where can I see it?
* eStavebny Dennik - See, this one's real and it's awesome! http://www.estavebnydennik.sk/

I've mocked websites and apps before too, but I always am sure to note that I've mocked it, not built it. If you're a front end web designer, there's no shame in that, there's a lot you can do with that. This site and eStavebny are more than enough to impress people. If the other stuff was available to look at, that'd be cool too. But don't mislead people, because if they're going to hire you, they are going to want to look deeper.
Last month my dad was telling me about the interns he was interviewing for this summer. He said he was most frustrated by the amount of overselling that these kids were doing for themselves. No, your management experience of managing your highschool robotics team is not relevant at a fortune 500 company. Related to this is the problem with college admissions. Everyone has a 4.0 with multiple APs and played varsity sports and can write a boring essay. Everyone is afraid to admit what they don't know. And I don't mean unknown unknowns, I mean known unknowns.
I'm coexisting in this problem just as much as you are, and I just want to say that I hate this. I wish we could all be honest with our skills and I wish employers would appreciate that honesty more. But we can't afford to be modest and honest, so I guess can't fault you for doing what we all do.
It's like steroids in baseball.

He doesn't say that he wants to work in the US though, or maybe I have missed it. But there are some pretty cool startups in Europe too, and given that Slovakia is part of Schengen he wouldn't have any problems with the visa if he were to work in Europe.
Meta keywords in HTML source include palo alto and california, so that's a strong indicator. > But there are some pretty cool startups in Europe too, and given that Slovakia is part of Schengen he wouldn't have any problems with the visa if he were to work in Europe. Schengen does not abolish visas across member states, as they had already been non-existent. Schengen removes border control. Visas and work permits are…
I think that's not entirely true, as countries like Switzerland or Norway are not part of EU, so they have had visas which were abolished with Schengen.
Since he's from Slovakia, does he have the visa status to work in the US? Will a startup go through H1-B process for a summer intern? Also, if he doesn't go through the formal visa process and tries to do his summer internship with a visitor visa, he may be banned from the US for 10 years. Given that he's publicly publicizing coming to the US to work, it would be very easy for USCIS to block his entry into the US.

FYI in the US it is considered inappropriate to have your picture on a resume.

I don't know if that's the case here, but a lot of European colleges require summer internships. Compensation is sometimes permitted, but status of employment must be an internship.
Uhh, I've never seen that to be the case and I'm from Europe.
