Volunteering & extracurriculars

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.

Code Club Member, SSEC

2019
