Extracurricular Activities / Volunteership

1. Smart India Hackathon --- 2017

   • First nationwide hackathon organised by Govt of India.
   • Our head of department (during my bachelors) selected me and one friend of mine from the entire class to join a team of 3 seniors for this hackathon.
   • Our team made a Django project titled ‘Petrol Pump Locator’ which could be used by people to locate nearby petrol pumps around their location.
   • Me and my friend worked on the frontend part of the project while others worked on the backend. But we did tinker around with Django’s configuration.
   • Honestly, it was a thrilling experience where interest for application programming grew for me.
   • Having said that, it was a bit overwhelming too, since we were not that good at coding at that point of time, but we did get alot of exposure.

   • SSEC is short for my college - Shri Shankaracharya Engineering College, Bhilai.
   • I got my hands dirty on C/C++ mentorship being a final year student in my college. Helped juniors in campus placement as well.
