Meet Shekhar Patel

Shekhar is one of our 2024 Google Summer of Code (GSoC) participants working on our Talawa projects. He started participating earlier this year, and was formally accepted as a GSoC participant in May. He has been collaborating with other participants and mentors on his various GitHub pull requests.

Welcome Shekhar!


Hi! I’m Shekhar Patel (duplixx), an open-source enthusiast driven to find bugs and collaborate with fellow coders over a steaming cup of tea. You’ll find me at tech meet-ups, always ready to swap knowledge and experiences. I lead tech communities in the Delhi region and was recently selected for GSoC ’24 with the Palisadoes Foundation.


My GSoC ’24 selection with the “Event Attendance” project has been transformative. This project will revolutionize Talawa’s event management, empowering administrators with deeper insights, smoother workflows, and tools to boost attendance and engagement.


Beyond web development, I’m actively building iOS apps and fascinated by the potential of blockchain technology. My passion extends to native iOS development with Swift, where I love crafting user-friendly experiences.
