Google Summer of Code

How It All Started

👩🏻‍💻 Ever since my school days, I was amazed by the explosion of android/web apps. It seemed like every day, there was a new app popping up with cool features. I couldn't help but wonder how it all worked behind the scenes – even the little things like that satisfying green tick after making a payment. That curiosity sparked my journey to becoming an engineer. In college, I started teaching myself how to code. When the pandemic hit, I used the time and took that as an opportunity to dive even deeper into learning and honing my skills. Along the way, I got involved in open-source projects, contributed to some awesome initiatives, and even had the incredible opportunity to participate in Google Summer of Code.
