I'm a Developer Relations person with a knack for JavaScript. Having recently moved into Community Management, I owe my involvement with the various open source communities for putting me on this ultimate career path.
I aim to empower student developers across India and the countries in the Asia Pacific region to find a place in the welcoming world of open source — and help them hone their skills to compete with the international standards.
Notably, I've hosted some of the top international developer conferences like GitHub Universe 2020, MLH Hackcon 2020, MLH Local Hack Day and given talks about Open Source in 20+ institutes of India and abroad. I love sharing my ideas, be it through my writings or by taking sessions, hosting conferences or being around at tech events!
My current role aims at managing and owning the Asia Pacific region for a US-based firm, Major League Hacking (MLH). The major countries of focus are India, Singapore & Australia. Additionally, I'm also handling the European and partly North American regions, overlapping with my timezone, making strategic plans on each aspect of the Hackathon League.
Diving into Developer Relations, I tried my hand in different community and documentation projects. These projects allowed me to share my thoughts on different aspects of developer relations and organising hackathons, etc. helping folks dig deeper into it.
Restructed, redesigned and made a digital section of MLH's Organizer Guide, sharing best practices of organizing a hackathon with the community.
An interactive way of portraying the DevRel knowledge to beginners, in the form of animated carousels & web stories providing to the point information.
A collection of notes from different DevRel Talks, Podcasts or anything that covers the best practices around DevRel.
One of my initial tryouts of forming a hackathon project based open source community. This was an experience that motivated me to explore developer relations as a full time career.
A web app that enhances the addressing system of the world. Instead of remembering long addresses, Addy generates a unique 7-digit code based on the latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates of any position.
With over 36 contributors, I tried my hand in managing an Open Source Community based on my hackathon project Addy.
To better manage the Addy open source community, I created this documentation any newcomer could refer and become a contributor to the organization.
An idea that always motivated me throughout my college life. Trying out different iterations of a project to uplift the tailoring sector. You can also explore more about vestirhere
For trying out better ways of implementing the body segmentation features for the Vestir App, I tried to implement multiple logistic regression modules on top of Tensorflow.JS using MNIST Dataset.
The next step to try and figure out the best way to measure the dimensions of a person was to have our own manipulation of bodypix, a model trained for segmenting a person and their 24 body parts.
After trying multiple models and ways to implement, we had a prototype built which could tell the body measurement with 90% accuracy.
One of the technologies I explored very deeply is definitely React Native. I tried my hand making a ton of projects with various applications and ideas I had in mind. Here are a few of them:
A social platform for restaurants to showcase their dishes, offers etc as posts alongside a food ordering system within itself. A React Native & Redux based scalable application with client side backend.
While working for Finin, I developed an open source package to generate Unique User Identity for React Native.
An app showcasing how different lifecycle methods work in react native.
