Maitri Vibhute

I am a Engineering Student currently studying in Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, Pune. I am in my Third year of Computer Science program at this institute. I had always dreamt of going to a prestigious institute for my bachelors degree and VIT is just the right institute. I have always remained on the higher side when it comes to my academics scores and along with that I have tried to pursue my hobbies that are playing badminton and chess.
I have explored many domains since I got into college such as Data Science, Machine Learning, IoT, but the domain in which I found myself to be very interested in was Blockchain and Web3. It is so new and just emerging technology that I was amazed by how it can change the existing systems. So, I started doing courses in blockchain and related domains, reading latest news about cryptocurrency market and Metaverse, reading blogs and articles. I have done Ethereum Developer Bootcamp in Solidity course from Udemy (view certificate -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YwLLOeN55ULeyjaTYVadUaBr7oNO1JcK/view?usp=sharing )
I am also the Lead of the blockchain club - BlocSocVIT, at my institute. My idea for blockchain and iot got selected at two major web3 hackathons - Web3athon 2022 and Bizthon 2022.
I am also Second Runner up in the Possibilities Hackathon powered by Microsoft.
