Kickstarted Ripple 1.0, a 30 day Mentorship Program that I started with 3 of my classmates. We matched mentors from 2022 MCA IGDTUW batch to 2023 batch students and with this mentorship program we aim to build a strong community of MCA IGDTUW students and help our juniors in getting guidance in their placement prep.
I participated in HackViolet this weekend with Kaman Au, an excellent designer from Philippines. I converted her designs into code and created Sheroes with her.
