Parth Shandilya

I am a Student Software Developer. I worked as a software engineering intern at Perpule, where I got hands-on experience with container techs like Docker as well as languages like Python and TypeScript. I am a Google Summer of Code Intern 2018. I'm a Python programmer and have been working on different projects in open source organization FOSSASIA. I have worked mainly on a badge generator- Badgeyay, which is an open-source badge generation and management system. I have also worked on other technologies like Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD) and also on developing environment using Travis CI and Code-tests like unit tests for REST API, Code coverage using Codecov. I have worked on cloud-based services like Docker & Heroku. I also write blogs posts related to Python and other technologies at https://medium.com/@parthshandilya.I also help the community by answering various questions on StackOverflow (see https://stackoverflow.com/story/parths007).

I have given a talk in PyCon Australia 2019 and presented a poster in PyCon US 2019 and Europython 2019. I have been FOSSASIA's Coding Competition CodeHeat grand prize winner in which I was invited to give a talk at FOSSASIA Summit Singapore held in March as well as I am a global winner of UNESCO Hackathon 2018 held at Singapore. I have been a Mentor in Google Code-In in which I have mentored pre-university students to build software varying from small scale to large scale software.

I want to participate in the hackathon because rather than a bunch of logical reasons, it’s more like an emotion that drives me crazy. If I try to describe it, it’s mostly about having fun. Exploring a place out of my comfort zone, finding something I want to improve, and going all-in to make a difference.
It also provides a platform to meet people with a similar mindset, figuring out a new technology to learn, and getting support from others. Collaborating with other participants towards a common goal. Competing against other teams and trying to be the best.
I also want to attend because hackathon is a beautiful mixture of people with different backgrounds and a common passion.
Having the possibility of breaking boundaries by experimenting with technology is exciting, no matter what.
