I began my journey with Front End Development (HTML | CSS | JS) and further progressed to a few other languages/domains (such as Back End, InfoSec, Bash scripting etc.). So it goes without doubt that I'll sketch out my experience with JavaScript and its rich, populous collection of libraries. Till now, I have worked with several frameworks: building local servers in NodeJS; desktop applications in Electron (for eg. a full-blown Assembly simulator with a Code Editor); ReactJS, my go-to library for building user interfaces.
I've also dabbled with several other libraries to incorporate creative and effective functionalities. Working with JS also allows me to constantly learn about new technologies (build-tools, cross-platform apps, etc.) that keeps myself in a constant state of learning.

That leads us to the next question: What drives me?

Well, I am a passionate explorer of this digital, binary world. I love to know! For knowing is a strong, empowering act. It gives me great pleasure to unravel the complexities of reality. And knowledge breeds through sharing. Through interactions — the emitters of favourable events that lead to a broadcast of information.

As an enthusiastic Open Source contributor, I look forward to collaborating, to innovate and put forward creations that reverberate with my own passion and aspires others to do more. Learn more.

The most complex project that I've taken up is Karma: A task scheduler for people who find their life to be imbalanced. An ambitious initiative, it enquires a person's daily schedule, assesses the tasks and classifies them into three spheres: Social, Productivity and Health. Later on, it generates and provides one with holistic insights, regarding on which sphere they should improve upon, and balances their daily schedule to lead a healthy, productive and socially-fulfilling lifestyle.

Some of the learnings that I've taken from this project: Working towards the inception of an idea for a hackathon (I worked on this project during AngelHack-2018); Collaboration; Incorporating efficient practices to boost productivity (to help tackle the time constraint); Thinking laterally vs Thinking vertically; and much more.

Summing it all up, I believe that by being at this hackathon, I'll provide positive contributions through my zest, zeal and active participation. I'll find immense pleasure by adding onto the aura of the whole community coming together, hacking through the days and the nights. Last, but not the least, I'll cherish this opportunity that brings me closer to my fellow developers and opens up a box full of possibilities for me.
