Getting involved has been the most important thing I've done for my career. I want to say some reasons for that in this post.
My Story
I started to code in computer science from first year. My first community event was volunteering at a Tech-fest event(kolkata- MINI MAKERS FAIR) in my city. It was a great experience. Then, one month later I participated in different project competitions, poster competition, photography, and Lecture series. I started attending hackathons from 3rd year.
This year's LHD: Share is my first hackathon, which I am really enjoying. Joining #Eddiehub is the best thing. Collaboration first, code second this line is powerful. I was always curious to solve challenges and make things done. Things I have done in this LHD were quite brainstorming and interesting. I have learned a lot from my first Local Hack Day. To be honest I wasn’t expected that I will learn these many new things in a week. I shocked myself that I’m doing these many things. It was an amazing local hack day event for me. I would like to thank MLH for hosting these amazing events and my favorite guild EddieHub and guild members. After attending MLH I have learnt team and collaborate in projects makes you a better person and that help you to become a better coder, as you always learn something new from every hackathons.
The communities that I am a part of:
- DSC,UEMK
- OSA
- SPIE
- IETE.UEMK
- EDDIEHUB
- SPIE-OSA-UEMK student chapter- Secretary

Tech communities not only enable members to upscale their technology skills, but also provide them high visibility among IT recruiters – giving them a unique opportunity. Lastly, I love to be part of communities.
