It's been an incredible year for me in 2022, as I've had the opportunity to work on some truly exciting projects and achieve some notable accomplishments in both my academic and technical pursuits.
Postman Student Expert
One of the highlights of the year was earning the Postman Student Expert badge. Postman is a powerful tool used for API development and testing, and the Student Expert program is designed to recognize and support students who have demonstrated a high level of skill and expertise in using the tool. I've always been interested in API development, and I've spent a lot of time working with Postman to improve my skills. I'm incredibly proud to have been recognized for my work, and I believe that the knowledge and experience I've gained through this process will be incredibly valuable in my future projects and career.
Dan Kohn Student Scholar for KubeCon+CloudNativeCon North America 2022
Another major accomplishment for me was attending CNCF KubeCon. This is one of the largest and most prestigious conferences for Kubernetes, an open-source container orchestration system that is widely used in cloud-native computing. Attending the conference allowed me to learn from some of the most experienced developers and researchers in the field, and I was able to gain a deeper understanding of the latest trends and technologies in Kubernetes. I was able to listen to keynote speakers and experts from leading companies share their insights and experiences, and attend technical sessions and workshops to improve my skills. It was a great opportunity to network with other professionals and learn from their experiences, and I'm looking forward to staying up to date with new developments in the Kubernetes community.
GeeksforGeeks College Ambassador
In addition to these technical accomplishments, I was also honored to be selected as a GeeksforGeeks Campus Ambassador. GeeksforGeeks is a popular online platform for learning computer science, and the Campus Ambassador program recognizes students who have shown a commitment to sharing their knowledge and promoting computer science education on their campus. I was excited to have the opportunity to be a representative of my university and promote computer science education among my peers, and I organized and participated in several events to help students on campus get a better understanding of different CS topics and technologies.
Throughout the year, I have also continued to work on my own projects, and gained valuable experience in coding and software development. I have worked on different types of projects from web development and I believe that the skills and experience I've gained through these projects will be incredibly valuable in my future career.
Leetcode 50 Days Badge
Another aspect of my technical development in 2022 that I am proud of is my contributions to various open source projects and my progress in solving problems on Leetcode.
I am a strong believer in the power of open source and its ability to bring people together and drive innovation. I spent a significant amount of my time in 2022 working on open-source projects, contributing to the development of different software libraries, frameworks and tools. I believe that contributing to open-source projects is a great way to improve my skills and gain experience, and I am proud to have been able to contribute to the development of software that is used by many people around the world.
In addition to open-source contributions, I also spent a lot of time working on problems on Leetcode. Leetcode is a popular online platform for practicing and improving your coding skills and it is also a great way to prepare for technical interviews. I found solving problems on Leetcode to be a great way to improve my algorithms and data structure skills. I have solved a good number of problems on the platform and I believe that the experience I gained from solving these problems will be incredibly valuable in my future career. I would recommend Leetcode to anyone who is looking to improve their skills in a fun and engaging way.
Contingent Leader at Mood Indigo IIT Bombay
Another notable accomplishment in 2022 for me was being selected as a Contingent Leader for Mood Indigo, the annual cultural festival of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay. Mood Indigo is the largest college cultural festival in Asia and it attracts thousands of students from all over the country. As a Contingent Leader, I had the opportunity to lead a team of students from my university to participate in the festival and showcase our talent. This was an incredible experience for me as I got to work with a diverse group of students and we all came together to put on a great show.
As a Contingent Leader, I was responsible for coordinating and organizing the activities for my contingent, which included arranging transportation, accommodation, and other logistics. I also had the opportunity to participate in various cultural events such as music, dance, theater, and literary competitions, which was an amazing experience.
Being a part of Mood Indigo not only allowed me to showcase my talent, but also gave me an opportunity to learn more about various cultures, customs, and traditions of different parts of the country.
