Speaker
Description
In this talk, I will take you through my five-year journey in the open source community, from a contributor during my college years to a mentor. My contributions to the open source project helped me gain practical skills in my initial days of the career. Also, as a mentor, I got the opportunity to mentor new folks and help them solve complex open source problems.
I will also highlight the exciting perks of being an active open source contributor, such as attending prestigious conferences. These events provided me with a platform to network with open source contributors, exchange ideas, and stay updated on the latest trends.
Join me as I share insights from my open source journey, filled with learning, mentorship, and incredible opportunities, and inspire you to join the open source world.
